BURLINGTON, Mass.--()--Arcadia Solutions, LLC (“Arcadia”), a leading provider of data-driven health information technology (“HIT”) solutions, announced today the appointment of Sean Carroll as Chief Executive Officer and as a member of Arcadia’s Board of Managers, effective April 1, 2013. Mr. Carroll joins Arcadia from Nuance Communications (NASDAQ: NUAN), a multinational computer software technology corporation, where he served as Senior Vice President of Health Information Management.

As a member of the Nuance Healthcare executive team, Mr. Carroll managed an approximately $500 million line of business focused on providing technology and services to large healthcare provider organizations, middle market healthcare providers and the ambulatory healthcare sector. Specifically, Mr. Carroll worked with customers to integrate clinical documentation solutions into their Electronic Health Record strategy.

I look forward to being a part of Arcadia’s continued evolution of services, intellectual property and geographic expansion.”
