Expert Statements
Erez Raphael, Chief Executive Officer of DarioHealth
“For a decade, the industry treated consumer health and chronic care as two different businesses. They are becoming one, and Dario has spent that decade building the platform that sits where they meet.”
Erez Raphael, Chief Executive Officer of DarioHealth
“John has spent his career inside the payer, provider and health services organizations that are shaping where this market is going, and he has worked hand-in-hand with our team since April. Having him lead our Board as we seek to capture this opportunity is a clear statement of our ambition.”
John R. Palumbo, Chairman of the Board of DarioHealth
“The consumer picks the door. The payer pays for the chronic condition behind it. I believe the value moves to whomever owns the path between the two and provides a bridge for the patient.”
John R. Palumbo, Chairman of the Board of DarioHealth
“Working alongside Erez and the team over the past six months, I have seen what the market may not yet fully appreciate: a strong team, a mission-driven culture focused on members and outcomes, and a platform built for exactly that path, with consumer engagement and payer-grade evidence integrated within a single platform. As Chairman, my focus is to make sure the Company captures the full strategic value of that position.”
Yoav Shaked, Director of DarioHealth
“It has been a privilege to chair Dario since 2018. John is the right leader for the Board’s next chapter, and I look forward to continuing to support the Company as a director.”
