Russell Cersosimo Jr. is the founder of Pittsburgh-based Miradati Technology, which is currently developing HIPAA-compliant, enterprise software that creates standardized data for medical cannabis research. Integrating both legacy and proprietary technologies, Miradati helps ... facilitate this rapidly developing field of study, producing quantifiable data that more accurately measures patient outcomes, reduces prescribing errors and lowers patient costs. Up until 2104, it's safe to say Cersosimo had, at best, an agnostic view of the medicinal benefits of the popular recreational drug. That would soon change after he was introduced to the family of Hannah Shuker, an 11 year-old girl with severe intractable epilepsy. Hannah instantly captured Cersosimo's heart and the desire to help save her life forever changed his. Witnessing first hand how profoundly cannabis could improve Hannah's condition, Cersosimo made it his mission to help get such medicine into the hands of other patients and families, equally desperate for hope. These efforts led him in 2015 to found the Pennsylvania Medical Cannabis Society (PAMCS), the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's largest organization for professionals, educators and leaders in the industry. It should come as no surprise that PAMCS' and Cersosimo's advocacy efforts were instrumental in 2016's successful legalization campaign. Today, Cersosimo is committed to forging partnerships that improve the capture and analysis of medical cannabis data. Cersosimo is passionate about developing solutions that will shape the industry and help more patients like Hannah around the world. With that operating vision at its core, Cersosimo's Keystone Integrated Care, was recently awarded multiple licenses to operate medicinal dispensaries throughout southwestern Pennsylvania. A serial entrepreneur as far back as his days studying Psychology at West Virginia University, Cersosimo founded Webbula, a data-centric technology company. As its CEO, Cersosimo generated high-profile clientele including Google, Yahoo, T-Mobile, Neustar, and Epsilon. Mr. Cersosimo has also served as CEO for marketing firm Optimal Reach Media. He currently sits on the Board of Directors of the Tourettes Syndrome Awareness Foundation.
