The news is out: I’ll be embarking on a thrilling new journey next month as president and CEO at GoodRx. For many years, I have admired GoodRx for the company’s simple, yet powerful value proposition – to make it easier for Americans to save time and money when filling their medications. Throughout my career in healthcare, my motivation has always been to improve the patient experience, and I’m honored to take the helm at a company doing just that. GoodRx sits at a unique intersection within the broader healthcare ecosystem, collaborating with pharmacies, PBMs, pharmaceutical manufacturers and others. I’ve worked for and with many of these organizations and understand that innovation in healthcare is often nuanced and complex. As I step into this role, my goal is clear: to make GoodRx the complement to insurance that fills in the gaps the system doesn’t cover. I want to express my gratitude to Scott Wagner for his leadership and vision as Interim CEO, and to Trevor Bezdek and doug hirsch for building a purpose-driven company that prioritizes transparency and savings so patients can access the treatments they need to stay healthy.

6dI am so lucky to be seeing your big news today! Congratulations 🎉 on the CEO appointment and I wish you nothing but continued success, Wendy Barnes. I have been following your work-life updates on this platform for a little over a year now, which is why I am so happy to know that you have been chosen to fulfill a visionary role that is much needed in our society. Seeing your update reminds me of my days as a disability awareness speaker. Why? Because there was one important statistic that I just had to highlight whenever I could.
