Gilbert, Arizona, United States, November 2025 – Justin L. has officially rejoined Drive Health as Chief Financial Officer, marking both a return and a continuation of a journey that began when he first served as the company’s founding CFO in an advisory capacity. As Drive Health matured, the company chose to onboard an independent CFO to strengthen governance and transparency—an approach that reflected its core commitment to accountability and responsible leadership. With a strong executive team now firmly in place, Justin returns to lead financial strategy for the organisation’s next phase of growth, backed by full support from the executive board and investors.
In his new full-time role, Justin will guide Drive Health’s financial operations with a focus on sustainable scale, ethical decision-making, and measurable value creation for stakeholders. Known for his direct, challenge-driven partnership with Drive Health’s leadership, he brings a balanced blend of strategic foresight and operational discipline aimed at strengthening financial visibility, elevating governance practices, and aligning capital planning with the company’s healthcare-technology mission.
Most recently, Justin supported Drive Health as Fractional CFO, where he focused on enhancing financial visibility, forecasting, compliance, and scalable operational infrastructure. His advisory role helped strengthen investor reporting, capital planning, and financial systems during a period of rapid organisational growth. Alongside this, he continued leading NextGen CPA, a boutique financial strategy firm he founded to bring enterprise-grade financial discipline to startups and high-growth private companies.
Before his work with Drive Health and NextGen CPA, Justin served as Vice President – Controller at Stronghold Investment Management, overseeing accounting operations, fund reporting, compliance, and capital efficiency across multi-entity private equity and infrastructure portfolios. His role served as a strategic link between investment and financial operations, ensuring transparent, accurate, and scalable reporting across seven active funds and related entities.
Prior to Stronghold, he held the role of Director – Capital Markets at Embark, where he led transaction advisory and financial transformation engagements for private equity and corporate clients. His work spanned M&A readiness, technical accounting implementation, financial modelling, and strengthening visibility across mid-market and institutional portfolios. Earlier, he worked as Advisory Manager in Deloitte’s Risk & Financial Advisory practice, supporting clients across government, public, and private sectors.
Justin’s earlier experience includes serving as Financial Reporting Manager at Ports America, delivering consolidation, external reporting, and technical accounting for a large multi-entity enterprise; as well as foundational roles in Deloitte’s Audit & Assurance practice, academic instruction at Arizona State University, and eight years as Supply and Accounting Chief in the United States Marine Corps, where he developed leadership discipline and operational rigour that continue to shape his executive approach today.
