Jonathan Yantis, the co-founder and CEO of QuicksortRx, is a Charleston native who turned his early passion for technology into a transformative career in healthcare. As a network architect at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), Yantis gained extensive insights into healthcare operations. His decision to start QuicksortRx came once he met MUSC pharmacist, Matt Hebbard, and learned about the outdated state of pharmacy supply chain management.
In 2018, Yantis and Hebbard co-founded QuicksortRx within MUSC, aiming to simplify pharmaceutical purchasing by navigating complex pricing structures and uncovering savings opportunities. The startup's immediate success in generating significant cost savings at MUSC led Yantis to commercialize the technology and assemble a team of expert pharmacists who use the software’s insights to help health systems optimize their pharmacy supply chain.
Under Yantis' leadership, QuicksortRx has enabled over $150 million in savings across over 35 hospital systems nationwide. Yantis remains committed to his community and the broader healthcare sector, driven by a need to create tech solutions for complex healthcare challenges.
