Over 70 customers across 12 countries have documented success improving care quality and outcomes, reducing cost, and alleviating workload on overburdened clinical teams. Dr. Carl Schramm, who will be stepping down as board chair commented, Although we began our search looking for a non-executive healthcare leader to strengthen the board, it became clear the value Tom would bring working in closer partnership with the management team in building out the future of the company. The best way I saw to accomplish this was to give him the opportunity to do what he does best - help to guide companies to rapidly achieve scale as executive chair. Carl has been a true partner to me as Lumeon has brought in new senior leaders, successfully closed a substantial funding round and refocused the company to take advantage of the opportunities and challenges that COVID has presented. We are grateful for his support during a unique time for the company, said Hughes. Tom joins us with the benefit of the groundwork laid and the company ready to scale - a scenario in which Tom has excelled multiple times over. The management team and I are excited to partner with him to lead the company to success. Schramm will continue as an advisor to the company and work with the board and management team to develop the strategic direction of the business.
