The five c-suite executives bolster Zipari’s executive leadership team—which includes Mark Nathan, Zipari’s Founder and CEO, and John Walsh, Chief Technology Officer—and further represents Zipari’s strategic growth investment from leading private equity investment firm Thoma Bravo and subsequent acquisition of HealthX. The investment, acquisition and additional c-suite members have facilitated Zipari’s ability to extend its leading CX platform and solutions for health insurance payers and third-party administrators of all sizes.

We’re energized by Richard’s proven ability to set strategic product roadmaps, combine products into solution sets and launch go-to-market strategies and product adoption. With our own plans to launch new products and solutions coming in the near future, Richard’s addition couldn’t come at a better time.”
