In this issue, we’re excited to highlight Vidit (Vik) Mehra, Commure's VP, Deputy General Counsel, who joined Commure in 2023.

Tell us a little bit about yourself, what do you like to do outside of work?

I’m the VP and Deputy General Counsel at Commure. I grew up in India, then relocated to Australia in my late teens, where I studied engineering and law before starting my career as a corporate attorney. Since then, I’ve worked in Singapore, Hong Kong, New York, and San Francisco—primarily advising on corporate and investment strategy, mergers, acquisitions, and partnerships. Before joining Commure, I spent two years at a Silicon Valley firm, advising startups on everything from day-to-day legal needs to investments and M&A strategy.

Outside of work, I love skiing, traveling, and spending time with my husband.

As a kid what did you want to be when you grew up?

When I was young, I had two dream jobs: neurosurgeon or software engineer. I’m relieved I didn’t go into neurosurgery because my hand-eye coordination might have been a bit risky for patients! I came close to becoming a software engineer (I even got an engineering degree), but found that being a lawyer can be just as exciting—especially when you get to work alongside the world’s smartest engineers.

Describe a day in the life of your role.

My role is twofold: I manage our legal team on a daily basis, and I also lead corporate development and strategic initiatives. On any given day, you might find me collaborating with my team on go-to-market strategy, unblocking deals to ensure healthcare systems get the best solutions, advising the executive team on strategic matters, or negotiating partnerships for mutually beneficial outcomes. For instance, I led negotiations for our strategic partnership with AWS and co-led our acquisition of Augmedix.

What made you decide to join Commure?

I was drawn to Commure by its mission and by the people I met during the interview process. Everyone here is incredibly smart and driven to tackle one of the toughest challenges: transforming healthcare through software and AI. It’s a privilege to be part of a team that’s not just talking about change, but actively making it happen.

How would you describe the Commure company culture?

Our company culture is intense and deeply mission-driven. We are trying to transform an entire industry, and going from zero to one is never easy. What keeps it rewarding is staying focused on the broader mission and working with talented colleagues and customers who share that same passion.

What advice would you give someone on their first day at Commure?

Take it one step at a time. There’s a lot to do and a lot of complex problems to solve, so it’s important to be thoughtful and intentional—prioritize the most pressing issue, solve it well, and then move on to the next. Avoid thrashing—jumping between too many tasks without making real progress. Focus and follow-through are key. At Commure, we care deeply about operational excellence, which means aiming for high-quality outcomes, not just speed. Be decisive, stay curious, and always keep our mission at the center of your work.
