St. Pete Catalyst "Influencer" Doug Short

Doug Short: President & CEO - BeniComp Health Solutions

In 2016, BeniComp moved its headquarters to Tampa from Fort Wayne, Indiana. The catalyst? Water Street Tampa, the 56-acre mixed-use project in downtown - and its focus on promoting health. Doug Short, President and CEO of BeniComp, lives and breathes healthcare - and he says BeniComp is disrupting the healthcare industry just like iconic, ubiquitous companies like Netflix, Uber or Airbnb. As one of the most influential topics in the upcoming presidential election and one-sixth of the nation's GDP, Short believes healthcare is ripe for disrupting.
