OTTAWA, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fullscript, a leading healthcare platform for whole person care, today announced it has appointed Dr. Stephen Kahane, MD, MS to Fullscript’s Board of Directors and elevated its Chief Financial & Strategy Officer, Ashley Koch, who will now also serve as President of the organization. On the heels of Fullscript’s strategic acquisition of Rupa Health, these appointments underscore the company’s significant momentum in transforming care delivery to encompass whole person health at scale.
“We are thrilled to welcome such an esteemed healthcare authority as Dr. Kahane to our board of directors and excited that Ashley’s role will expand to reflect her expertise and build on her existing success,” said Kyle Braatz, co-founder and CEO, Fullscript. “One of the keys to our growth at Fullscript has always been bringing in key talent at the right time. With the recent acquisition of Rupa Health, now is the time to make these strategic shifts to our leadership bench and board.”
Braatz continued, “Both individuals bring a wealth of healthcare industry experience to their respective roles. With decades of experience as an advisor to high-growth healthcare technology companies, Dr. Kahane’s perspective will be invaluable to our strategic direction and continued growth. In addition, Ashley’s track record of success and deep relationships in the sector will be critical as she builds upon her existing role within our leadership team.”
Dr. Stephen Kahane, MD, MS is executive advisor at several venture and private equity firms and works directly with select portfolio companies. He has extensive background in healthcare and healthcare technology, including serving as Executive Vice President and President, Client Organization at athenahealth, as well as chairman and CEO of several other publicly traded companies including both VitalWorks and AMICAS, Inc. Additionally, he is an active advisor and/or board member for leading healthcare tech and technology-enabled companies including Kyruus, Suki, Groups Recover Together and more.
“Fullscript has demonstrated incredible growth and momentum—and is poised to drive fundamental change in the way we approach health,” said Dr. Kahane. “With healthcare costs continuing to skyrocket and Americans getting sicker in tandem, it’s clear that a conventional approach to health alone can’t address these rising challenges. Fullscript is a true innovator in incorporating whole person care to traditional workflows and stands to make a great change to the delivery of care as we know it today.”
Ashley Koch joined Fullscript as CFSO in 2023 and has been instrumental in shaping the direction of the company, driving transformational acquisitions and partnerships, and bringing 16+ years of healthcare experience and relationships to Fullscript. As President, Ashley will bring her exceptional financial acumen and innate strategic vision to this newly created, highly impactful role. Working in close partnership with CEO Kyle Braatz, she will focus on leveraging her vast industry experience to drive Fullscript’s growth and solidify its position as a household name at the forefront of health, technology, and whole person care.
“I am honored to take on this new role, working alongside Kyle and the rest of the leadership team in driving Fullscript’s strategic direction,” said Koch. “The company has experienced impressive growth during my tenure – from the Emerson integration to the acquisition of Rupa – and I look forward to continuing to lead Fullscript on our growth trajectory.”
Earlier this year, Fullscript announced that it expanded its leadership team with the addition of a new Chief Commercial Officer, General Counsel and Chief People Officer.
