"We are thrilled to have Robin, Akanksha, and Jessie join the Transformation team," said Todd Cozzens, Managing Partner, Transformation Capital. "Every growth company needs world-class go-to-market operations and Robin's experience doing just that for notable technology-driven healthcare companies will add huge value to our portfolio partners. Akanksha's and Jessie's healthcare backgrounds continue to strengthen our mission to build highly transformative companies leveraging our deep domain knowledge and experience."

You can't accomplish that without a world-class go-to-market and sales operations machine. I hope to leverage my experience with leading healthcare companies across Transformation Capital's portfolio, supporting them to broaden their impact across the healthcare industry."
