Darik Volpa

Darik Volpa's "professional" life began in healthcare with Stryker Corporation in 1994 where he successfully “climbed the ladder” for 10 years in various sales and marketing roles.

In May of 2003, Darik spread his entrepreneurial wings and started Understand.com- a company focused on creating highly visual animations that would solve the problem with doctor/patient communication.

Twelve years later, Understand has become a global medical education company with thousands of clients licensing content from around the world. Understand.com’s animations have been featured on The Doctors, Good Morning America, Dr. Phil and Bodies: The Exhibition. In 2010, Understand.com was recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest growing privately held companies in the U.S. ranking #1,354 in the Inc. 5,000.
