PatientBond, a patient engagement software provider based in Salt Lake City, has announced that Justin Dearborn has been named as the company’s new CEO. Anurag Juneja, who has been CEO since the company was founded in 2011, will continue as president.
Dearborn has over 25 years of experience as an executive for healthcare, technology and software companies, including a successful turnaround of Merge Healthcare, where he grew the business from a $10 million enterprise value to a sale to IBM for $1 billion.
“Justin is the right leader for PatientBond and we are very excited to have him on board,” said Jonathan Phillips, PatientBond’s chairman of the board. “Justin’s extensive technology background and business development skills will assist PatientBond as we continue our upward momentum. We believe his strong leadership experience will complement the great team at PatientBond as we prepare for the next stage of growth, similar to what he was able to achieve in growing Merge Healthcare’s revenue by a factor of 10.”
“I am very excited to be joining the PatientBond team,” said Dearborn. “PatientBond has a great value proposition, evidenced by their industry-leading 82 NPS (product) and a talented management team. PatientBond is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the continued focus of healthcare payers, providers and life science companies on digital engagement with members, patients and users.”
