In the newly created position, Newhall will lead special initiatives and projects for Bamboo Health CEO Rob Cohen as well as partner with other senior leaders to drive the business’ priorities through strategy, development, and operations.

“Cheston has a proven track record of success in leading growth and advancement strategies for technology companies, including most recently playing a key role at Appriss to successfully set up the Appriss Insights business unit for its major acquisition by Equifax in 2021,” Cohen said. “I’m confident his skills and ability to bring teams together for high-quality work will help launch Bamboo Health into its next phase of growth as we achieve our vision to revolutionize care coordination to improve whole person care.”
Newhall will play a key role in maintaining and building relationships with Bamboo Health’s Board of Directors as well as current and future investors, partners, and collaborators.
