Christy Maselli has been tackling the thorniest problems in healthcare operations for half a decade, turning back-office chaos into tech-driven wins. After sharpening her strategic chops as Chief of Staff to the COO of Technology at Bridgewater Associates, Christy joined Grow Therapy in 2020 as their first non-founder employee.
