Jon Ciampi

CEO, Bright Heart Health

Bright Heart represents the perfect intersection of technology and healthcare. I firmly believe that telemedicine and the growth of digital health will transform healthcare and provide access to everyone. Previously, I was Chief Marketing Officer at CRC Health Group, where I oversaw more than 160 substance abuse and eating disorder programs across the United States. This was my first experience in healthcare, and a transformative one, as I gained first-hand experience with the issues preventing individuals from receiving care. Prior to CRC Health, I was involved in several technology companies from 1997 to 2011. Most notably, I was Vice President and General Manager of SumTotal Systems, a publicly traded company providing human resources software. I have led teams across marketing, sales, business development, corporate development, product management, services, support, r&d, operations, hosting, and finance. I have learned that my passion lies in leading teams and helping people.
