McKinney-based Lyric Health, an AI-powered virtual care and integrated health navigation, has named Bill Schmitt as its chief growth officer. In this newly created role, Schmitt will lead Lyric’s growth strategy, expand market presence, and strengthen enterprise partnerships across healthcare, employer benefits, and plan sponsor ecosystems.
“Bill is a proven growth leader with deep experience scaling technology-enabled platforms,” Lyric CEO Rey Colon said in a statement. “As we continue to invest in AI-driven care navigation and virtual care delivery, Bill’s leadership will be instrumental in expanding our impact for employers, health plans, and the members we serve. His appointment reinforces our commitment to building a world-class leadership team and accelerating strategic growth.”
Schmitt will oversee growth initiatives across functions, including demand generation, partnerships, business development, and customer success. He also will work closely with Lyric’s product, marketing, strategy, and sales teams to refine the company’s value proposition and accelerate expansion across B2B, payer, and employer markets.
Schmitt will also take the lead in scaling Lyric’s core virtual care platform and driving growth across strategic portfolio businesses, including GoLexi, Lyric’s virtual pet telehealth platform. His mandate includes increasing revenue, strengthening strategic alliances, and aligning go-to-market execution across Lyric’s human and pet health offerings, all powered by a shared AI-enabled telehealth infrastructure.
Lyric’s integrated virtual care platform provides 24/7 access to primary, urgent, and specialty care, mental health support, and intelligent care navigation that simplifies care journeys and improve outcomes for clients and members, the company said.
“I’m thrilled to join Lyric at such a pivotal moment,” said Schmitt. “Lyric’s focus on transforming healthcare navigation through technology, personalized care, and member-centric experiences aligns closely with my passion for driving meaningful growth while delivering exceptional value to customers and partners.”
