Meet Sushen.
Sushen Thiyagarajan is the founder of OpineSquare, a strategy and advisory collective built to help digital health innovators, payers, and government partners bridge the gap between vision and execution.
​
With over a decade of experience in healthcare strategy, public health modernization, and federal consulting, Sushen has worked alongside leaders at the HHS, DHA and VA and some of the nation’s largest payers to reimagine how technology, policy, and operations come together to improve population health.

At OpineSquare, Sushen brings this perspective to life — helping clients design smarter pathways for growth, compliance, and impact.
A lifelong learner and connector, Sushen thrives on translating complex systems into clear strategies. Whether advising a health tech startup or shaping a federal modernization effort, his focus remains the same: clarity, collaboration, and meaningful change.
