About Jerrod Helms

Throughout my career, I’ve been drawn to the challenge of turning complex healthcare innovations into commercially indispensable products. I began my career at Humana, where I managed a $450M business unit and learned how the industry’s largest players operate. Since then, I’ve applied those \"big health\" insights to the startup and private equity world, serving as a Chief Commercial Officer and revenue leader for companies poised for breakout growth.I am a builder by nature, and I thrive in environments that require both strategic vision and rigorous execution.My \'sweet spot\' is building high-performing GTM engines. For example, at Ginger, I was the first sales hire and grew ARR from $2.6M to $50M in just three years. Most recently at Lantern, I spearheaded an enterprise strategy that delivered 10x year-over-year revenue growth.Whether it’s shifting DarioHealth from a consumer model to a B2B entity or securing One Medical\'s first federal contract, my focus is on aligning innovative care models with the needs of payers and large employers to drive sustainable profitability.
