SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Modern Health, a leading global workplace mental health platform, today announces the appointment of Adam Brown as Chief Financial Officer. With an extensive background in healthcare finance and operations, including significant experience scaling high-growth healthcare technology companies, Brown brings deep industry expertise to the company.

"Adam is a valued addition to Modern Health's leadership team, and we are thrilled to welcome him on board. His impressive track record and deep understanding of both public and private markets strengthens our executive bench as we continue to execute our vision," said Gyre Renwick, President and Chief Operating Officer at Modern Health. "Adam's experience successfully managing the financial operations of fast-growing healthcare technology companies aligns perfectly with our ambitious plans for the future."

Brown brings more than fifteen years of healthcare finance experience across investment banking, private equity, and finance operational leadership roles. Most recently, he served as Senior Vice President of Financial Planning & Analysis and Investor Relations at Health Catalyst (NASDAQ: HCAT), where he played a pivotal role in scaling the company from an early-stage, venture-backed start-up to a public company with over $300M in revenue and more than 1,400 team members. During his tenure, he helped lead the company through multiple funding rounds, including its successful IPO, and helped manage the acquisition of six companies. Previously, Brown held positions at GTCR's private equity healthcare practice and Bank of America Merrill Lynch's healthcare investment banking group.

"I look forward to bringing my experience in scaling healthcare technology companies to help drive Modern Health's next phase of growth."
