South Jordan-based AdvancedMD, a provider of cloud-based health care software for independent medical practices, has announced that Amanda Sharp has been promoted to CEO of the company. The company also announced that Bryan Hunt has joined the company as its chief financial officer.
The leadership announcements come on the heels of the company’s acquisition by Francisco Partners in December.
Sharp, who has served as the company’s president since 2019, first joined AdvancedMD more than 18 years ago as an intern. During her tenure, she has held multiple leadership roles, including president and vice president of strategy and business development. She was named one of the “Women in Health IT to Know” in 2024 by Becker’s Hospital Review.
“The acquisition of AdvancedMD by Francisco Partners has energized our entire organization. The new, independent ownership structure, combined with the continued focus on building a world-class health care technology platform, sets us up to have another groundbreaking year,” said Sharp. “In my role, I’ve always prioritized our company culture and that’s not going to change. Our employees are the heart and soul of AdvancedMD and I couldn’t be happier to lead this group, now as CEO.”
Hunt joins AdvancedMD from his previous role as chief financial officer and senior advisor of Health Catalyst, a data and analytics health care technology provider. Prior to joining Health Catalyst, Hunt was an investment banker with Deloitte Corporate Finance and Moelis & Co. At AdvancedMD, Hunt will oversee all aspects of the company’s financial functions.
In the past year, AdvancedMD has experienced measurable growth, increasing the total number of ambulatory care practices that leverage AdvancedMD solutions to more than 65,000 practitioners across 14,000 practices and 900 independent billing service companies.
