A former, young executive at Outcome Health — who is now a star witness in the fraud trial against its founders — was to blame for misdeeds at the company, not its CEO, defense attorneys set out to prove Monday morning.

Ashik Desai, a former executive at Outcome Health, leaves the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse on Feb. 21, 2023, in Chicago.

Outcome was once one of the most talked-about tech companies in Chicago, rising to a valuation of more than $5 billion at one point. The company placed screens and tablets in doctors’ offices and waiting rooms that ran educational content and pharmaceutical ads.

Former Outcome Health President Shradha Agarwal arrives for jury selection in a criminal fraud trial on Jan. 24, 2023. “I was part of the business practices, and I led the team that was doing it, but it was not just me,” Desai said.
