Alexandria Hauer, MS, RDN

I had the pleasure of working with Cary at Noom for a year. Cary's ability to go out of his way to support others has always made him stand out. Cary holds strong attention to detail, is a highly knowledgeable leader in the digital health space, and leads by example. Under Cary's supervision I was able to gain valuable professional experience and strengthen my problem solving abilities. His dedication to his craft is nothing short of inspiring, and his ability to coach others is rooted in empathy and understanding. I’m grateful to have worked with Cary and highly recommend him to any company.
