Chief Strategy & Partner
Elly Latinik brings more than three decades of healthcare business experience to his role as Chief Strategy and Partner at W8 Capital. His career began in the most hands-on way: delivering supplies, cleaning equipment, and learning the intricacies of medical billing long before electronic systems existed. Those formative years not only gave him a ground-up understanding of the healthcare continuum but also instilled a resourceful, entrepreneurial mindset that continues to shape his approach today.
Over time, Elly transformed early ventures into a series of integrated businesses that ultimately evolved into Excel Med, a company he helped lead for decades before its acquisition by Gentell. Along the way, he gained a reputation for navigating complex challenges with integrity, resilience, and strategic foresight. These qualities were forged through both notable successes and hard-earned lessons from early investments.
At W8 Capital, Elly leverages his nationwide network of operator relationships and his proven track record of building scalable healthcare platforms. Known for his accessibility and spotless reputation, he brings unmatched connectivity to high-level decision makers across the industry. His role is defined by turning decades of practical experience into strategic advantages that drive growth, opportunity, and long-term value creation.
