Dorothy (Dor) Kilroy is redefining what it means to lead in wellness tech. As Chief Commercial Officer of ŌURA, the health intelligence company behind the Oura Ring, Kilroy is steering the brand’s transformation from a direct-to-consumer wearable to a global enterprise platform. Her leadership is not only driving commercial growth, it’s bringing a new level of inclusion, intelligence, and innovation to the health tech space.
First-Ever CCO at ŌURA: Building the Future of Health, at Scale
Kilroy stepped into the newly created role of Chief Commercial Officer in 2023, tasked with building out ŌURA’s B2B infrastructure, strategic partnerships, and international expansion. Under her leadership, the company surged ahead, becoming Amazon’s fastest-growing brand in 2024.
Beyond retail scale, Kilroy has focused on enterprise health partnerships, developing integrations with players like Lumeris, Essence Healthcare, and benefits platform Thatch. Her strategy reflects a deep understanding of how ŌURA can evolve into a health companion not just for individuals, but for healthcare systems and workplaces globally.
“Working with partners to accelerate and expand our work is … leveraging each other’s strengths … run at the problems facing our world better and faster,” she shared on LinkedIn.
A Career Defined by Growth, Inclusion, and Impact
Prior to joining ŌURA, Kilroy built a distinguished track record in high-impact commercial roles. She was VP of Business Development at Marqeta, helped scale Airbnb’s community efforts as GM & Head of Community, and held senior leadership posts at Visa. Across each chapter, Kilroy has championed growth through inclusion, building platforms that elevate user voices and cross-functional collaboration.
At Airbnb, she helped establish internal parent-support communities, a thread she has carried into her leadership at ŌURA, where she actively champions working parents and caregivers.
Advancing Women’s Health with Data and Purpose
A cornerstone of Kilroy’s work at ŌURA has been elevating women’s health equity. The Oura Ring now integrates with Natural Cycles, enabling non-invasive cycle tracking and offering personalized reproductive insights. The platform has tracked over 1 million menstrual cycles and 42 million temperature trends, providing unprecedented data visibility in a space often underserved by tech.
“Since my time at ŌURA… trusted companion for women… we’ve tracked over 1 million cycles,” Kilroy highlighted during International Women’s Day.
She also commemorated the day with a deeply personal note, sharing her late mother’s cancer journey as part of her call for increased awareness and funding in women’s health research.
Speaking Up on the Global Stage
A passionate advocate for diversity, mental wellness, and future-of-health innovation, Kilroy has brought her message to global audiences. She’s a featured speaker at CES, contributing to the Future of Health track, and a Women in Tech Global Conference panelist, discussing her experience as a C-suite working mother and leader in a male-dominated sector.
Her ability to speak from both strategy and lived experience has made her a standout voice in tech, wellness, and commercial leadership circles.
