MENLO PARK, Calif.--()--Hello Heart, the digital leader in preventive heart health, today announced the appointment of healthcare industry veteran Bill Otten as Commercial President, reporting into Maayan Cohen, CEO and co-founder. He joins the company following another recent key hire, renowned cardiologist Jayne Morgan, MD who joined as VP, Medical Affairs. Together with Hello Heart’s executive team, they aim to advance the company’s mission of improving heart health for millions nationwide.

Otten joins Hello Heart with a wealth of experience in healthcare technology, having successfully scaled several companies in the space, including Clearwave, where he grew revenue to over $750 million as chief revenue officer. He also led sales at ADP for 14 years across multiple successful market divisions.

Bill brings the exact skill set and expertise we need to push Hello Heart’s business into its next stage of growth in order to reach its highest potential,” said Maayan Cohen, CEO and co-founder, Hello Heart. “We are incredibly excited to work with Bill in scaling Hello Heart to bring our preventive heart health platform to every American who needs it.”

Dr. Morgan, a cardiologist and healthcare thought leader with over 20 years of clinical experience, joined Hello Heart to help lead its Medical Affairs team. Her dedication to health equity and preventive care has shaped her career, which includes leadership positions at Piedmont Healthcare and major research contributions focused on women’s heart health. “With Dr. Morgan and Bill on board to help lead our growth and clinical strategies, Hello Heart is well-positioned to become the leading heart health solution for health plans and private and public sector employers,” added Cohen.
