MY LEADERSHIP PHILOSOPHY:
“Don’t let reality get in between you and your dreams.”
Sidd Pagidipati is a Tampa-based entrepreneur and philanthropist dedicated to transforming U.S. healthcare from reactive “sick care” to proactive, patient-centered care. He co-founded Freedom Health, which became the nation’s largest privately owned Medicare HMO before its acquisition by Anthem, and later founded Better Health Group, now serving more than 300,000 patients nationwide.
As chairman of Ayon Capital, the Pagidipati family office, he invests in mission-driven companies such as Brave Browser and Search, advancing privacy for more than 100 million users. A lifelong dinosaur enthusiast, he brought Big John, the world’s largest triceratops, to Tampa’s Glazer Children’s Museum and is developing a Gorgosaurus exhibit in St. Petersburg. In 2024, the Pagidipati family donated $50 million to St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital to establish the Pagidipati Children’s Hospital, one of the region’s largest healthcare gifts.
