Maxim Wheatley is the Founder and CEO of JetPatient, bringing a unique blend of neuroscience expertise and entrepreneurial drive to the healthcare and technology sectors. He studied neuroscience and psychology at Georgetown University, conducting NIH-backed research on Autism and ADHD before pivoting from a medical school path to focus on innovation through startups.

Maxim’s career began at a seed-stage venture fund and startup accelerator, where he gained early exposure to venture investing and company building. He went on to co-found LifeFuels, a health and wellness consumer electronics company, serving as its Chief Product Officer. Over four years, he led product development and business growth, culminating in a successful exit through a transaction with Keurig Dr. Pepper (NYSE: KDP).

He later joined TTEC (NASDAQ: TTEC), where he led a national sales team overseeing a $250M P&L and played a key role in securing the largest deal in the company’s history—a $127M FEMA contract following Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. Most recently, Maxim was the first employee at a machine learning company in the engineering intelligence space, helping scale it from pre-product to over 100 employees, 300 enterprise customers, 7-figure ARR, and more than $27M raised from top-tier venture capital firms.

A named inventor on over a dozen patents, Maxim is also an advisor to several successful HealthTech and FinTech startups, including two with completed exits. He has received multiple industry awards across diverse sectors and remains actively involved in mentoring the next generation of entrepreneurs—volunteering his time to teach entrepreneurship to high school students. Outside of work, he is a certified Rescue Diver and competitive race car driver.
