Key industry leaders join the team to
accelerate growth and support efforts to help health systems
attract and retain patients more efficiently
NEW
YORK, June 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Caire,
an advanced AI-native patient automation platform that improves
patient experiences and streamlines clinician workflows, today
introduced its new leadership team with the appointment of CEO
Eddie Peloke and Executive
Chairwoman Ash Zenooz, MD. By combining their unique experiences
building and driving innovative companies, Peloke and Zenooz will
lead Caire in placing health systems at the forefront of
innovation.
Eddie Peloke, Caire's new CEO,
brings over two decades of experience as a technical leader,
ranging from engineer to chief technology and chief executive
officer. Most recently, he served as chief technology officer at
Dispatch Health, a company focused on bringing the power of the
hospital to the comfort of home. He has also held leadership roles
at companies, such as CEO at Workpath and at ScoopMonkey. Given
Peloke's technical background, he's excited about Caire's AI
component and the ability to work directly with health systems.
"To be able to build side by side with health systems to truly
help solve their problems is empowering. More often than not, tech
solutions are built, and then the companies have to convince the
health system they're needed," said Peloke. "I'm really interested
in the close collaboration that Caire and Aegis have had with
health systems so far. This type of partnership has the potential
to be transformative and I'm excited to lead the team at Caire in
building the next stage of what healthcare will look like."
Dr. Ash Zenooz, stepping into the role of Executive Chairwoman,
combines over two decades of clinical practice and healthtech
leadership. She was most recently CEO of Commure, a hyper-growth
company incubated by General Catalyst. In her time there, she
spearheaded the company's product build and go to market strategy,
and led the company through significant growth and a merger. In
addition, Dr. Zenooz has held key leadership positions as General
Manager of the Health and Life Sciences Business Unit at Salesforce
and Chief Medical Officer at the United States Department of
Veterans Affairs.
"Historically, health systems have been cautious about adopting
technology that lacked a deep understanding of healthcare and its
unique challenges," said Dr. Zenooz. "Caire is changing this
paradigm by collaborating directly with health systems to develop
innovative solutions that meet their real-world needs . I'm
thrilled to join Caire's board, and support Eddie and the team as
they scale the technology to benefit both patients and
providers."
Together, Peloke's and Dr. Zenooz's combined knowledge and
expertise building and scaling companies is a recipe for success.
While Dr. Zenooz began her career as a clinician, she transitioned
into the technology space and applied her clinical knowledge to the
fast-growing, ever-shifting health tech industry. Conversely,
Peloke started in technology, then shifted to healthcare, putting
to work his operational instincts and learnings from years as a
chief technology officer. Their complementary perspectives and
skill sets will drive the strategy and propel Caire forward.
Born out of a strategic partnership with Northwell Health and
Aegis Ventures, Caire has already demonstrated significant success.
Its women's health product, implemented across Northwell Health,
has reduced no-shows, strengthened loyalty, and increased revenue,
while simultaneously reducing administrative time for providers and
delivering a higher patient Net Promoter Score®, a metric that
measures patient satisfaction.
"Through the Aegis portfolio of companies, we have seen
firsthand the potential for generative AI to transform the
experience of healthcare for patients and caregivers. Health
systems are facing unrelenting challenges and the need for trusted
solutions and new collaboration paradigms has never been greater,"
said John Beadle, co-founder and
managing partner of Aegis Ventures. "Caire will play a central role
in Aegis's health system digital transformation
strategy–consummated through the Digital Consortium. Under Ash and
Eddie's leadership, we are more confident than ever in the
company's trajectory."
Peloke and Dr. Zenooz will join an already robust board of
advisors including Dr. John
Noseworthy, Emeritus President and CEO of Mayo Clinic. Dr.
Noseworthy is also the chairman of Aegis' recently launched Digital
Consortium, where he serves as the representative for the health
systems.
