Boston - June 07, 2006 - MedAptus®, provider of point-of-care technologies to the healthcare industry, today announced the addition of seasoned sales executive Carlos Escobar to its corporate management team. In his new role Mr. Escobar will lead MedAptus’ national salesforce as well as a rapid expansion of the company's customer base.
Mr. Escobar comes to MedAptus from Certus Corporation, provider of revenue cycle management services. As senior vice president, Mr. Escobar oversaw the company’s Government Reimbursement Services division, which, under his direction, emerged as the most profitable business unit with yearly revenue exceeding $10 million.
“I am thrilled to join MedAptus and believe that my experience building both sales infrastructure and highly successful sales teams will serve the company well as it embarks upon a very exciting period of growth. I’ve been on board for only a matter of weeks, yet have witnessed enthusiastic market reaction to the company’s product suite,” stated Mr. Escobar. “I also believe there is tremendous and untapped potential for our Electronic Charge Capture and other offerings and I look forward to developing strategy that will allow MedAptus to dramatically increase its market penetration.”
Mr. Escobar was previously a senior vice president with Per-Se Technologies, and also held executive positions with a number of blue chip companies, including IBM and General Electric. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering from Lehigh University.
“As a sales leader, Carlos has an undisputable track record and we are fortunate to have him join us. MedAptus’ point-of-care solutions are already in use at a number of highly prestigious institutions, including Lahey Clinic, M. D. Anderson Cancer Center and NYU Medical Center, and I believe that under Carlos’ direction, we will experience accelerated growth,” said Dennis Mitchell, president and CEO of MedAptus.
Mr. Mitchell added that the company recently moved into its new corporate headquarters at 176 Federal Street in the heart of Boston’s financial district. The space is approximately 50 percent larger than MedAptus' previous headquarters, making it well-suited to support the company’s continued expansion.
