NEW YORK, Sept. 8, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Remedy Health Media, a leading provider of health information and technology, today announced the appointment of Jim Curtis and Kevin Aniskovich to executive leadership positions in the latest move by the Company to expand its market-leading offerings. The move created the positions of Chief Revenue Officer for Curtis and Chief Innovation Officer for Aniskovich. The new leadership appointments follow Remedy's acquisition of Intelecare Compliance Solutions, a healthcare IT company focusing on medication adherence solutions. The Intelecare acquisition is the latest step in Remedy's strategy to increase its footprint in enterprise technology to increase new and existing product development efforts across its point of care, digital and adherence product lines.
As the Chief Revenue Officer, Jim Curtis is responsible for sales, business development and marketing for Remedy's advertising business within the Company's print, digital and mobile product lines. Curtis joins Remedy from Everyday Health where he served in various leadership roles for 5 years. Mike Cunnion, the Company's Chief Executive, commented that "Jim's proven background in building teams and growing revenue allows Remedy to focus on accelerating digital growth while better serving our customers advertising needs that leverage Remedy's robust suite of integrated point of care, digital and mobile solutions."
Kevin Aniskovich joins Remedy as the result of the Intelecare acquisition where he was previously founder and CEO. As Remedy's Chief Innovation Officer, Aniskovich is responsible for the Company's global brand strategy and product development initiatives. In addition, he'll be focused on creating operating efficiencies to foster organic growth through the use of innovation and technology. Aniskovich created the industry's leading medication adherence platform for use in both online and mobile environments. A cutting edge company, Intelecare amassed the largest proprietary adherence database of users receiving more than 5 million treatment reminders each day and developed the first disease management mobile app with an integrated mail order pharmacy. "Remedy's substantial brand portfolio requires a thoughtful understanding of consumer demand, the clients we serve, and long term strategic product development," Cunnion added. "As one of the brightest minds in healthcare IT, we are lucky to have Kevin as he is the ideal person to help us improve and innovate on our product development front which will lead to greater growth opportunities for Remedy."
