“I have a deep appreciation for technologically advanced organizations,” said Thorne. “It’s one of the reasons that attracted me to FH, where recent acquisitions have really bolstered the company’s ambitions in this area. My vision is to continue FH’s incredible phase of growth by shaping, expanding, and amplifying the company’s data, analytics, and technology offerings. In today’s healthcare ecosystem, data and technology play such a profound role in our clients’ success. Therefore, we will be relentlessly focusing to deliver technology solutions that enable our clients to ultimately improve health outcomes.”
According to Jon Koch, CEO: “There’s been a major shift in how to best use data-driven intelligence and omnichannel experience platforms to deliver the right communication to the right audiences through the right channel at the right moment. As our industry experiences growth and change, Geoff will be working closely with our FH teams to navigate these changes and provide a critical voice in influencing how we can drive better health outcomes for patients and greater business results for our clients.”
