In addition to being responsible for all organic MA member growth initiatives, as a founding partner, I provided counsel in the areas of capital raising, private equity interactions, mergers and acquisitions, strategic business planning and execution, and certain aspects of operations. I managed all aspects of corporate communications and investor relations including corporate collateral, the company's social media presence and the physical re-branding and integration of all newly acquired practices. I also oversaw all customer-service related issues and lead the company's co-branding and marketing relationships with all of its health maintenance organization (HMO) plan partners including Humana, WellCare, and Devoted Health Plans.
