Builds on success in the United States with
appointment of Mark Clermont as CFO and Carl Schramm as chairman of
the board
Lumeon, the leader in Care Pathway Management (CPM), today
announced that it has appointed two industry veterans to strengthen
its position in the United States: Mark Clermont as chief financial
officer (CFO) and Carl Schramm as chairman of the board. The
appointments follow a number of recent customer wins and market
traction, including securing U.S. customer, Keck Medicine of USC,
and earning industry recognition of its CPM platform in the
American Business Awards.
In his role as CFO, Mr. Clermont will oversee the alignment of
Lumeon’s business and finance strategies to optimize for rapid
growth. Prior to joining Lumeon, he served as president of Provant
Health for three years until the company’s acquisition in Q4 2018.
Clermont brings over ten years of experience serving as CFO for
healthcare organizations, including UpToDate, Inc. and its
acquiring company Wolters Kluwer Health. His deep experience and
understanding of healthcare, along with his financial acumen and
proven track record for company growth, positions Lumeon to
capitalize on its recent momentum in the U.S.
“The U.S. healthcare market is shifting to value-based care,
bringing the patient to the forefront,” said Clermont. “Consumers
and providers alike expect more from the care system today and need
tools that can keep up with this demand. Lumeon is playing a
critical role during this tide change by providing a system of
engagement for all parties to work together and improve care, and I
couldn’t be more excited to join the company at such a pivotal
time.”
Dr. Schramm, professor at Syracuse University and former
president of the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, joins Lumeon’s
board of directors as chairman, where he will manage the board and
support the company’s executive team in strategy development and
execution. He carries a wealth of knowledge in U.S. healthcare
operations and significant experience in building and scaling
businesses successfully in the region. Schramm founded the nation’s
first healthcare finance research center at The Johns Hopkins
University, in addition to founding five other companies and
serving in major corporate roles across numerous industries.
Through his variety and depth of experience in healthcare,
business, public policy, and academia, he is recognized as a
respected thought-leader in healthcare finance, regulation, and
insurance.
“The transition to a pay-for-performance healthcare market is
applying pressure on hospitals and doctors to deliver more and
better care, at a lower cost,” said Schramm. “Lumeon anticipated
this moment in the U.S. and is seizing its first-mover advantage
with software that allows hospitals to reduce unwarranted variation
in financial and clinical outcomes – for which providers are
increasingly being held directly accountable. The company is on the
cusp of significant growth in the U.S. and I am delighted to bring
my experience to the table to support that.”
“Mark and Carl both bring to Lumeon a deep understanding not
only of U.S. healthcare but also extraordinary business
experience,” said Robbie Hughes, founder, and CEO of Lumeon. “As
the company continues to build on its recent momentum since
entering the U.S. market, their expertise and leadership will help
drive further growth. The addition of these two seasoned
authorities in the industry demonstrates what an exciting time this
is for Lumeon.”
