CHICAGO, July 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Kalderos, the creator of the country's first and only drug discount management solution software, announced today it is continuing its expansion with the hiring of 19 new team members spanning departments which include software development, product design and information security.

Following a $7 million investment from Mercato Partners in May, Kalderos committed to quadrupling its team by the end of 2019. With today's announcement, Kalderos has neared that target and moved closer to fulfilling its objective of bringing compliance clarity to drug discount management. It also furthers Kalderos' commitment to hiring best-in-breed product team members to build its first-to-market solution.

"We at Kalderos are thrilled to advance our growth with the addition of experienced individuals who share our passion and commitment to reinventing how the business of health care performs," Kalderos COO Micah Litow said. "As we continue to build our team, we're excited to accelerate toward our goal of deploying our fully imagined solution. We believe our unique company culture draws passionate and creative thinkers who are eager to help us solve the challenges of drug discount management."

Among the strategic new hires is Vice President of Security and Compliance Jim Hundemer, who brings to Kalderos 19 years of experience in information technology. Hundemer has held several information security and compliance leadership positions, including more than a decade in the health care space at IMS Health and IQVIA. His expertise and leadership will help ensure the efficacy and security of Kalderos' solution.

Also joining the team are Mark Nizinski and Sara Eno. Nizinski has more than a decade of design experience, with a particular propensity for technology design. His previous experience leading UI and communication design at Salesforce and IDEO will benefit his work as Director of Design as Kalderos continues to prioritize a design-forward approach to its solutions and services.

Eno is Kalderos' new Senior Director, Financial Planning and Analysis. She brings extensive accounting, finance and analytics expertise to the role, where she'll lead Kalerdos' financial department.
