Dr. Atul Kaushal is a physician, startup cofounder, consulting veteran, and innovator with 20+ years of experience across the healthcare industry. His mission is and has been the pursuit of true 'health care' and how to get there from our current 'sick care’ model. He believes that payment reform, technology, and empathy are essential components of the future of healthcare.


He has spent the past 20 years working at the intersection of: Humans, Technology, and Healthcare. His focus is on healthcare innovation, which is manifest in value-based care, health equity, holistic medicine, digital transformation, and experience management. To augment his skillset, he earned an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management in 2015, majoring in Strategy, Marketing, and Organizational Management.


Dr. Kaushal has recently joined AmourCBD in the role of Medical Director. In an effort to determine the efficacy of AmourCBD’s revolutionary new pain-relieving cream, he provided samples to his own mother who suffers from degenerative joint disease (DJD) and is in some degree of constant pain. To his delight, and hers, daily use of AmourCBD’s pain-relieving cream for a few days allowed her to reduce her prescription medications by half. Knowing the possible adverse effects of these powerful prescription medications, he was convinced of the significance of this new product formulation and the importance of getting it out to the market for those suffering from pain and not wanting the physical and mental side effects of prescription pain medications, including opioids.


In his spare time, he likes to spend time with his wife & two young daughters. Together they enjoy cooking, reading, investing, working-out, and personal development.
