\u201cPapa has quickly become central to the conversation around the social determinants of health for seniors,\u201d explains Andrew Parker, Papa Founder and CEO. \u201cChuck brings 20 years of experience bringing new and innovative solutions to market, and will surely accelerate our growth and expansion, partake in the evolution of our vision and help establish new benchmarks for addressing senior isolation. He is a key addition to our executive leadership team,\u201d said Parker.<\/p>\n
Before joining Papa, Inc., Mr. Hector was Chief Revenue Officer of MDLIVE, Inc., a telehealth industry leader, where he managed sales, implementation and client success for 8 years, guiding the membership growth to 35M members. He also spent 4 years with IncentOne, the online platform for incentive-based activity tracking, and 3 years with Chicago based ComPsych, the national leader in employee assistance and work-life benefits.<\/p>\n
\u201cI couldn\u2019t be more excited to join Papa at a stage when they are gaining national attention for their work,\u201d says Hector. \u201cI know the subject of senior loneliness hits very close to home for me, and many of friends who have aging parents. Papa will go a long way to stem the tide of this epidemic and the associated expense to health plans and employers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hector graduated with his Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Illinois and earned his MBA from the Lake Forest Graduate School of Management, with a concentration in healthcare administration.
