Otta's take

Theo Margolius headshot

Theo Margolius

COO of Otta

Many industries have developed in order to provide clients with an excellent experience and rapid delivery, but the healthcare sector remained a slow and cumbersome experience. The company was founded in order to solve this problem and improve the efficiency of the healthcare sector through technology.

HeliosX Group aims to improve the quality, accessibility and affordability of healthcare across the UK, US and Europe. The group is mainly interested in the medical, dermatology, and nutritional supplement sectors. The group was founded in 2013 and it includes 4 companies: Dermatica (personalised skincare brand), MedExpress & ZipHealth (online medical consultations & pharmacy) and their men's health brand, RocketRx.

HeliosX Group helped patients across the UK and internationally. The company's main priority is to continue growing, both geographically and in terms of our product offering, to ensure we can continue making healthcare accessible to as many people as possible.

Meaningful work

Feb 2022

Starting from very first interview with HoD I was surprised how open and hones company was in terms of what goes well and where I can help to improve. Many of those pain-points were already actioned, some still require our attention, but being able to speak honestly about good and bad across all the levels and being sure that you were heard, makes me feel better. Open honest retros, regular "All hands" and one-o-ones are more then enough for me to know about company and company to know about me
