Adam Bauer Named CEO of New Business
NASHVILLE, Tenn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#digitalhealth—Caduceus Capital Partners (Caduceus) today announced the formation of Caduceus ADVISORY, a new consulting business that complements the firm’s investment strategy and mission to advance digital health innovation across the U.S. healthcare industry. Caduceus ADVISORY will work with health systems and plans to simplify complex operations, break down organizational silos, and drive sustainable performance improvements with a focus on transformation through advanced and emerging technologies.
As healthcare organizations grapple with mounting operational pressures and limited resources, the path to meaningful innovation can feel out of reach. Caduceus ADVISORY brings a unique combination of early-stage venture capital experience and deep management consulting expertise to help clients navigate today’s challenges while unlocking the incredible opportunities of tomorrow.
“Each month, our team evaluates hundreds of digital health startups, investing only in those with the potential to truly transform the industry,” said Dave Vreeland, Senior Managing Partner at Caduceus Capital Partners. “That constant market engagement gives us real-time visibility into emerging technologies and the ability to rapidly align them with health system needs. The $5 Trillion U.S. healthcare system, historically human labor intensive and notoriously slow to adopt new technologies, is poised for more change in the coming decade than the industry has experienced in the last century. We look forward to bringing this intelligence to bear for clients looking to scale innovation with speed, clarity, simplicity, and impact.”
Caduceus has appointed Adam Bauer, Managing Partner at Caduceus Capital Partners, as CEO of Caduceus ADVISORY. In this role, Bauer will lead the practice’s strategy and execution, helping healthcare clients harness the power of AI and next-generation technology innovations.
Bauer brings over 20 years of healthcare leadership experience as an executive, professional services leader, and technology implementer. He has delivered complex technology solutions for a wide range of organizations, including large health systems, government agencies, community hospitals, behavioral health providers, and long-term care networks. Most recently, he served as Vice President of Analytics Services at Optum. Previously, he was a Partner at IBM Watson Health Consulting, where he led provider services across North America and oversaw digital transformation initiatives for health systems.
Caduceus ADVISORY marks the third business launched by Caduceus Capital Partners in support of its core investment strategy. In the past year, the firm also introduced:
- Caduceus LAUNCH – a pre-seed accelerator that fast-tracks the development of early-stage digital health startups; and
- Caduceus TALENT – a purpose-built recruiting service that connects healthcare executives, entrepreneurs, and investors to scale early-stage transformative companies.
