我关心很多事情，但真正让我兴奋的是在全球范围内促进人类健康和运动表现。
我是萨米·因基宁(Sami Inkinen), Virta Health 健康机构 的创始人兼首席执行官，也是旧金山领先的在线房地产公司 Trulia（现为 Zillow 集团的一部分）的联合创始人。我有幸能够与一群了不起的人一起工作，创造出令人惊叹的东西并帮助了数百万人。但我希望这只是一个开始。
在完成我的工程硕士学位（物理系）并在核电站作为无线电化学家短暂工作后，我离开了在核电站的工作。通过在诺基亚、微软和麦肯锡公司担任的各种业务和业务开发角色，我很快了解到，我对我的第一台 Commodore 64 以及在 80 年代后期学习软件编程基础知识感到如此兴奋是有原因的。我无法回避它；我本质上是一名科技企业家，Virta Health 是我创立的第三家公司。
我的最擅长的是耐力运动，尤其是铁人三项和骑自行车。我很享受在每周工作 90 小时和广泛旅行的同时优化身体表现的旅程。除了在夏威夷铁人三项赛中完成两次不到 9 小时的比赛外，我还成为 2011 年半铁人三项 (70.3.) 距离的年龄组世界冠军，并在 2009 年在美国排名第二年龄组铁人三项运动员。我最快的铁人三项铁人三项是 8 小时 24 分钟（2012 年），我在 Wildflower 和金银岛铁人三项赛中也有几个年龄段的课程记录，以及在 Escape from Alcatraz 铁人三项赛中连续 3 个年龄段的冠军。
2014 年夏天，我和妻子在完全无人支持的情况下划过太平洋，从加利福尼亚到夏威夷 2750 英里。我们花了 45 天零 3 小时，这现在是两人船员速度的世界纪录。
无论是在办公室还是在路上，我都是一个无可救药的数据极客，我相信如果你能衡量它，你就能改进它。为了我自己和其他人的娱乐，我可能只是有一个详细的电子表格来记录所有内容。

I care about a lot of things, but what really excites me is advancing human health and performance on a global scale. Check out my LinkedIN profile to understand how I’m trying to achieve that professionally.
I’m a Founder & CEO of Virta Health and co-founder of the leading online real estate company Trulia (now part of Zillow Group), based in San Francisco. I’ve had the privilege and luck to be able to work with amazing people to build amazing things and help millions of people. But I hope this is just the beginning.
After finishing my Masters in Engineering (Physics Department) and a brief stint at a Nuclear Power Plant as a radio chemist, I left the world of radio active water samples for good. Through various business and business development roles at Nokia, Microsoft and McKinsey&Company, I quickly learned that there was a reason I was so excited about my first Commodore 64 and learning the basics of software programming in the late 80’s. I couldn’t escape it; I’m a tech entrepreneur at heart and Virta Health is the third company I’ve founded.
My balancing act is endurance sports, particularly triathlon and cycling. I’ve enjoyed the journey of optimizing physical performance while working 90 hour weeks and traveling extensively. In addition to two sub 9-hour finishes at the Ironman Hawaii, I became the age group world champion at the Half Ironman (70.3.) distance in 2011 and was ranked number #2 age group triathlete in the U.S. in 2009. My fastest Ironman triathlon was 8h24min(2012) and I also have several age group course records at Wildflower and Treasure Island triathlons, as well as 3 consecutive age group wins at the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon. During the summer 2014 my wife and I rowed across the Pacific Ocean, completely unsupported, from California to Hawaii for 2750 miles. It took us 45days and 3hours which is now the speed world record for a two person crew.
Whether at the office or on the road, I’m an incurable data geek and believe that if you can measure it, you can improve it. To my own embarrassment and others’ entertainment, I might just have a detailed spreadsheet for everything.
