Requirements
  • At least 3 years of product management experience at an early-stage startup.

Responsibilities

  • Define artificial intelligence-native user experiences that are intuitive, trustworthy, and useful while abstracting away complexity.

  • Monitor artificial intelligence research, industry trends, and emerging applications, and apply relevant insights to Leona's product.
  • Form hypotheses, test them quickly, and update the approach based on data.
  • Drive execution across engineering, design, operations, and leadership to keep the team aligned and moving quickly.
  • Work with growth to develop the narrative around new initiatives and drive successful product launches.
  • Improve communication, organization, and accountability in the product development process while helping build the product culture and operating rhythm.
  • Translate insights across cultures and markets, adapting product thinking for diverse healthcare contexts across Latin America and beyond.

Leona Health provides an AI-powered co-pilot for doctors that sits alongside WhatsApp-based patient conversations. Doctors use a dedicated mobile app where AI helps categorize messages, suggest replies, and coordinate with staff to handle administrative tasks, while patients keep using WhatsApp. The system separates professional from personal messages and groups work by type to streamline responses, with plans for AI-driven scheduling and further automation. Its goal is to reduce physician burnout and expand access across Latin America by improving clinical communication and practice management through AI-assisted workflows.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Leona closed a $14 million seed led by Andreessen Horowitz in December 2025.
  • TechCrunch reported users saving two to three hours daily on administrative work.
  • The product now reaches doctors in 14 Latin American countries, validating cross-border demand.

What critics are saying

  • Meta controls WhatsApp access; any API or policy change can break Leona overnight.
  • Leona lacks clinical-system stickiness; doctors can abandon it if message volume drops.
  • Settlement-grade records stay weak; regulators and insurers demand auditable documentation beyond chat transcripts.

What makes Leona Health unique

  • Leona turns WhatsApp into a doctor workspace across 14 countries and 22 specialties.
  • Caroline Merin brings Rappi and Uber Eats Latin America operating experience to healthcare workflows.
  • Leona keeps patients on WhatsApp while doctors gain triage, replies, and scheduling automation.
