NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–D. One Vision Management (DOV), a New York-based investment firm with focus on frontier technology companies leveraging multiple approaches and strategies from venture capital, private equity and SPAC IPOs to support global disruptive companies of different stages in different economic cycles, today announced that Michael Gorton, a 14-time serial entrepreneur, company builder and recognized pioneer of telemedicine who led telehealth giant Teladoc to create what is quickly becoming a trillion dollar industry globally, has joined as an advisor to the firm.

Throughout Michael’s executive career, he has founded and led industry-changing companies. Michael currently serves as CEO of his new venture Recuro Health, transforming the U.S. healthcare system from a reactive, disease focused model, to a population health and outcomes approach, and a founding CEO of Back To Space, LLC (B2S), a for-profit impact company designed to inspire the next generation to develop an innate love of science, engineering and space, and take edutainment (educating through entertainment) to the next level – outer space.

Previously, as CEO, Chairman, and Founder of Teladoc (NYSE: TDOC), Michael led a telemedicine company that was named by MIT as one of the Top 50 Smartest Companies in the World. Teladoc is now the world’s leading telemedicine company with a market cap in the tens of billions of dollars. Following Teladoc, Gorton was the founding CEO of Principal Solar (OTCPK:PSWW), a public company he led to become one of the thought leaders in the solar industry worldwide, that delivered nearly 400 megawatts of sustainable electricity, enough to run approximately 70,000 American homes. With Internet Global, he led the company from concept to the #1 ranked Internet provider in North Texas and the construction of the world’s first DSL network and one of the first national VOIP networks.

In addition to his success as an entrepreneur, Michael also has established his status as a thought Leader and best-selling author through numerous awards. His current book: Broken Handoff ranked the #1 M&A Business book of 2019. His prior book Forefathers and Founding Fathers reached the #1 best seller status on Amazon’s historic fiction chart in 2017.
