As operators, our experience spans roles at leading healthcare businesses including Aetna, 23andMe, DaVita, Availity, Henry Ford Health, and Zocdoc, as well as technology pioneers such as LinkedIn and Paypal.

Backed by the breadth and depth of our operating experience, we take a tailored approach to partnership and can provide targeted yet flexible support in pursuing value creation initiatives.

Our team has held operating or board roles at over 25 public companies, including healthcare businesses, prior SPACs, and Playboy Enterprises, where Healthwell Director Christie Hefner served as the longest-tenured female public company CEO. We have deep experience in supporting the transition to a public company, managing public market and investor dynamics, leading and driving growth at public businesses, and leveraging the benefits of public listing.
