IKS Health, which offers AI-powered care enablement solutions to support healthcare clinicians, staff, and patients, today announced the appointment of Kathryn Weismantel as chief marketing officer and Christi Braun as chief legal and compliance officer.
“IKS Health has built something truly unique with solutions that meet clinicians and patients where they are and show measurable impact,” Weismantel said in a statement. “I’m excited to help bring this story forward, deepen our engagement across the industry, and strengthen the value we provide to our clients.”
IKS Health—which is based in Mumbai, India, with U.S. headquarters in Dallas— aims to reduce the administrative, clinical, and operational burdens that slow healthcare down, giving clinicians and care teams the freedom to focus on delivering exceptional care. Through its Care Enablement platform, IKS Health said it integrates AI, agentic workflows, and human expertise to create smarter operations, better outcomes, and financially sustainable growth across the care journey.
Founded in 2006, IKS said it is recognized by Black Book as the top provider of AI driven RCM services, by KLAS for performance and client satisfaction and received the 2025 DORA Award from Google Cloud for “Augmenting Human Expertise with AI.” IKS Health partners with health systems, physician groups, and specialty practices across the United States.
Marketing healthcare tech
As CMO, Weismantel will lead strategic marketing initiatives designed to position IKS Health as a trusted innovator in healthcare technology. She’ll be responsible to develop and execute a comprehensive marketing strategy to elevate brand visibility, strengthen industry relationships, and support the company’s continued growth trajectory, IKS said.
Weismantel is a veteran marketing executive with more than 20 years of experience building brands and leading teams across healthcare and professional services. Most recently, she served as Americas Head of Marketing for Oliver Wyman, where she helped the firm enhance its position as a trusted advisor to the C-suite while navigating significant growth, and led marketing for Oliver Wyman’s Health & Life Sciences practice, including its Health Innovation Center.
“We’re incredibly excited for the insight, creativity, and strategic leadership Kathryn brings as we continue to accelerate our growth, drive innovation, and fulfill our mission of enabling clinicians to focus on what matters most,” said Sachin K. Gupta, founder and Global CEO at IKS Health.
Legal and compliance expertise
Braun joins IKS Health as Chief Legal and Compliance Officer, overseeing corporate governance, privacy, and regulatory compliance, along with all legal functions. She has expertise across healthcare legal operations, including compliance, regulatory strategy, clinical operations, antitrust, mergers and acquisitions, and physician–hospital alignment.
“I’m honored to join IKS Health and support its commitment to the highest standards of legal and regulatory integrity,” Braun said. “As healthcare grows increasingly complex, strong governance is essential, and I look forward to helping the organization navigate its next phase of growth with confidence.”
Braun previously served as Deputy General Counsel at ScionHealth, a leading U.S. health system, where she oversaw legal operations, transactions, litigation, claims liability, and contract management. She has also held senior legal roles at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and the University of Florida and practiced at Mintz Levin and Ober Kaler. Braun began her career as a staff attorney at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.
“Christi’s leadership will be instrumental in strengthening our legal framework and ensuring adherence to the highest standards of compliance as we navigate our next phase of growth,” said Nithya Balasubramanian, CFO of IKS Health. “She brings a depth of expertise essential to our continued growth and our long-standing commitment to regulatory integrity.”
