Health Advances, a leader in commercial strategy for healthcare technology organizations, has promoted Greg Chittim, the co-leader of the Digital Health and Health IT practice, to Partner. In his three years with the firm, Greg and his teams have supported dozens of company executives and investors in the development of winning strategies in health IT, connected medical devices, tech-enabled services, and digital health applications.

A software engineer and manager by training, Greg’s career has included technical software development and product management; strategic growth consulting to the Fortune 500; product management; B2B marketing and communications; and senior operations leadership.

“I am honored and excited to begin this next chapter with Health Advances,” said Greg “especially given the unique opportunity to work with such a broad range of clients across healthcare technology sectors and at different stages of maturity — from startups to the largest companies in the world. We are often asked to help our clients address their most difficult questions, and in the quickly growing areas of digital and connected health, there are no shortage of those.”

Health Advances Co-Founder, Paula Ness Speers, announced and celebrated Greg’s promotion, saying “Greg has truly earned this promotion as he is widely respected in the industry externally and a great leader, collaborator and developer of our talented people internally. Health IT is an enormous growth area for the industry and for our firm and Greg and his colleagues are pioneering growth strategies for the sector with our clients”.

Prior to joining Health Advances, Greg held multiple senior executive roles at Arcadia.io, a leader in population health analytics and EHR data integrations serving health systems, accountable care organizations, and health plans nationwide. Greg built a Strategic Marketing team after an initial round of growth equity and drove company-wide business planning, performance improvement and measurement programs as the Strategic Sales Operations leader. Earlier in his tenure, he was the product director for the core analytics platform and a principal consultant in Arcadia’s legacy consulting business. While at Arcadia, Greg served as a subject matter expert to the Office of the National Coordinator for HIT on health information exchange (HIE) under the federal HIE, Regional Extension Center, and Beacon Community grant programs. Greg began his career as a project team leader and technical project manager at Monitor Group (now part of Deloitte), serving clients in the biopharma, high tech, and government sectors.
