MADISON, Wisc.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Veda, an automation company that saves healthcare companies millions and makes it easier for patients to access care, announced today that it has made key leadership appointments that will position the business for continued growth. These appointments build on the company’s strong performance last year. In 2021, veda grew its annual revenue sixfold and more than doubled its workforce.
John Pharr, finance, and operations leader has joined veda as the company’s first Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Pharr has a proven track record of building and scaling businesses, most recently serving as Vice President of Finance and Operations at Mirror. He also previously held the role as Head of Finance and Operations at Quovo.
In addition, veda has named Brian Powers as its first Chief Growth Officer (CGO). Powers has more than 20 years of experience in the enterprise software sales industry, having served in senior leadership positions at Automation Anywhere, SalesForce, Perminova, and Arrow ECS.

Bo Roff-Marsh also joins the company as veda’s Chief Technology Officer (CTO). She brings more than 15 years of experience innovating the technology sector, having served in key engineering roles at Science 37, Guthy-Renker, TiVo (formerly Rovi Corporation), and Virgin Mobile USA (formerly Helio LLC). Roff-Marsh will oversee the development of cutting-edge technology to support the organization and its customers’ business goals.
With the addition of Roff-Marsh, Dr. Bob Lindner, veda’s co-founder and former CTO, will move into the role of Chief Science Officer, overseeing scientific operations and driving added value for customers by focusing more time on innovation, research, and scientific integrity by reprioritizing his roots as a scientist.
“As we evolve as an organization, increasing both our headcount and customer base, it's imperative that we have top talent at veda’s helm who can expertly drive innovation in our technology and our business,” said Meghan Gaffney, veda co-founder and CEO. “I’m delighted to welcome John, Brian and Bo to the veda team. Their leadership and blend of industry experience will be great assets to our company as we expand our client roster, enhance the client experience, and evolve our go-to-market strategy.
