Cohealo, a technology company founded in South Florida that leverages the sharing economy for hospitals and health systems, announced that it has added two Miami-based senior managers who bring to Cohealo decades of experience successfully scaling high-growth businesses in their respective domains.
As the new Chief Marketing Officer, Joe Sawyer will be responsible for building Cohealo’s corporate marketing as well as a complete go-to-market for its innovative solutions. He joins Cohealo from CareCloud, where he led a marketing team that helped drive three years of average 100% revenue growth, landing the company on the Inc. 500 and Forbes list of America’s Most Promising Companies.
As Vice President of Finance, Ryan Lissauer will lead Cohealo’s financial strategy and operations while also helping build repeatable, scalable infrastructure across its key functions. Prior to joining Cohealo, Ryan was with H.I.G. Capital, a leading global private equity firm, where he acquired middle market companies and helped grow their enterprise value as a member of their Board of Directors.
“In recent months, Cohealo has gained significant traction among health systems looking for an innovative but proven approach to managing their clinical assets more efficiently and profitably,” said Mark Slaughter, CEO and co-founder, who moved his company to Boston early last year. “We are thrilled to welcome Joe and Ryan. We will apply their talents in rapidly expanding our reach in the market while taking the positive results we deliver for clients to the next level.”
Cohealo utilizes a cloud-based software platform to bring the benefits of the sharing economy to managing and optimizing the utilization of medical equipment across hospitals and care facilities in health systems, a $100 billion market.
Founded about five years ago when Slaughter was an MBA student at the University of Miami, Cohealo closed a $9 million Series A financing round that included Romulus Capital and Miami-based Krillion Ventures last fall. Slaughter said at that time he planned to establish an office in South Florida, and these moves bring it closer to the goal. Sawyer and Lissauer will remain based in South Florida.
