“With his extensive background in healthcare finance and a proven track record of guiding high-growth companies through pivotal milestones, including IPOs and strategic M&A, Bob will be integral to Cohere Health as it scales its operations and continues to build market share,” said Siva Namasivayam, CEO, Cohere Health. “Bob’s expertise will be instrumental as we enter the next phase of growth, driving our mission to go beyond utilization management by transforming and improving the process for patients, providers, and health plans with the latest technology and AI capabilities.”

Previously, Shepardson served as the Chief Financial Officer of Amwell and oversaw all financial, accounting, and M&A aspects of the company. He joined Amwell in November 2021 from Morgan Stanley, where he spent over 30 years in various leadership roles within Global Capital Markets and Media and Communications Investment Banking. At Morgan Stanley, Shepardson spearheaded Amwell’s IPO and secondary offering as lead underwriter and managed financings for many high-growth healthcare companies, including One Medical, Accolade, Oak Street Health, Certara, Alignment Healthcare, and Lifestance Health.

“Cohere is a high-caliber technology and AI company that has demonstrated impressive growth in such a short amount of time,” said Shepardson. “I look forward to building on Cohere’s strong market momentum and contributing to its next phase of growth and expansion.”

This announcement follows the company’s recent $50 million equity raise. Additionally, Cohere has maintained a rapid growth trajectory during the last year through its partnerships with Medical Mutual and Rhyme, expanded collaboration with Humana, integration with Epic’s Payer Platform, and its recently announced partnership with MCG.
