Healthcare tech group Mediware Information Systems said it tapped former United-Health Group subsidiary OptumInsight chief exec Bill Miller as its new CEO, replacing Kelly Mann, who has served in the corner office since 2007.
Mediware said that Miller will work with the Lenexa, Kansas-based company’s management to “build and accelerate the company’s platform” to expand its footprint in the alternate care and human and social services market.
“I want to thank the team at Mediware for their dedication, innovation, and hard work over the last several years. Mediware is a best-in-class company and it’s been a privilege to have played a leading role. Bill is an accomplished industry executive with valuable operational skills and creative insights. With his leadership and the ongoing support of our partners at TPG, I am confident that Mediware is well positioned for its next chapter of growth,” former CEO Mann said in a press release.
Miller has more than 20 years of experience in healthcare and technology, and during his time at OptumInsight saw revenues grow from $1.5 billion to $5 billion. Prior to his time at OptumInsight, Miller served as tech VP at Cerner.
“Having spent my entire career in the healthcare and technology industries, I have known Mediware as an industry leader with a deep understanding of the marketplace and an ongoing commitment to quality and client service. I am excited about their strong position in the expanding markets they serve, and look forward to working with TPG and the Mediware team to build on the momentum that the company has achieved to-date,” Miller said in a prepared statement.
