War­ren Buf­fett, Jamie Di­mon and Jeff Be­zos have found the per­son they think can fix a bro­ken US health­care sys­tem. And they’re go­ing with a Re­nais­sance man.

At­ul Gawande is tak­ing the reins on Ju­ly 9 with a mis­sion to cre­ate a new en­ti­ty un­bound by prof­it goals. And he’s one of the best-known fig­ures in the in­dus­try.

The com­pa­ny — which still doesn’t have a name — will be based in Boston.

Gawande is a sur­geon at Brigham and Women’s Hos­pi­tal, a pro­fes­sor at the Har­vard TH Chan School of Pub­lic Health and Har­vard Med­ical School plus a best­selling au­thor who has penned 4 books. He al­so writes for The New York­er from time to time.
