Jim Gallic has been appointed as chief growth officer of Dallas-based weight management solutions provider Wondr Health, a role in which he will lead cross-functional teams to execute the go-to-market strategy, collaborating with employers, health plans, and partners to improve access to full-spectrum metabolic health care.
“We’re extremely fortunate to have an established growth leader join our team at a time of great momentum and market expansion for the organization,” CEO Scott Paddock said in a statement. “Jim has an impressive track record of cultivating strong client relationships and driving revenue growth in the B2B market.”
Gallic lost 50 pounds using Wondr program
Gallic said he’s used the Wondr program himself.
“I jumped at the opportunity to join Wondr Health because I’ve experienced its impact first-hand. I started using the Wondr program years ago and lost over 50 pounds,” Gallic said in a statement. “Even more important, it helped me build habits and make lifestyle changes to keep the weight off and reduce my risk of developing chronic conditions like heart disease and diabetes.”
Wondr Health said that Gallic brings more than 25 years of experience in the employee benefits space and a proven history of inspiring sales teams to achieve long-term success in a dynamic marketplace.
Gallic has held leadership roles at Mercer, Castlight (Apree Health), Sharecare, and most recently at Personify Health where he led the North America new logo sales team, the company said.
In addition to hiring Gallic, Wondr Health said it added four new sales executives to the 20-person growth team, signaling massive demand for market-leading metabolic health solutions proven to lower costs for employers and health plans.
“I’ve spent my career building growth engines, leading teams and scaling companies with purpose,” Gallic said. “At Wondr Health, I see a tremendous opportunity to do all of that while helping organizations future-proof their weight management strategies, and helping millions of people live healthier, happier lives.”
The company said the salesforce optimization comes on the heels of announcing the expansion of Wondr Advanced, a clinical obesity management program for businesses.
Wondr Advanced now offers employers and health plans a flexible cost-share option to improve access to GLP-1s while controlling costs and total benefits spend. With the optionality to support all organizations’ current and future benefit structures, Wondr Advanced delivers the same expert, personalized clinical care with a GLP-1 self-pay alternative.
