Before starting MeYou Health in 2009, Chris was SVP of Internet Innovation at Healthways, where he helped shape the company's Internet strategy. Chris came to Healthways in 2006 through the acquisition of QuitNet, an online smoking cessation company, for which he served as President & CEO. While he once traveled underground with the New People's Army in the Philippines as a photojournalist, Chris has also put his communications know-how to work in other developing nations, like Eritrea and Ethiopia, while working for the aid agency Grassroots International.
Among the MeYou Health team, Chris is most known for commuting by bicycle to and from work, and traveling to Nashville to meet with our Healthways colleagues. When asked, Chris describes the MeYou Health approach to improving well-being as a "radical departure." On the weekends, Chris enjoys endless hours of motorcycling in northern Vermont.
