Nashville – Clarus has announced that Rishi Srivastava has joined the company as Vice President of Engineering, according to Rich Maradik, CEO of the SaaS patient call management platform, which serves the healthcare industry.
Srivastava comes to Clarus with extensive engineering experience. As Senior Director of Engineering at Change Healthcare (now Optum), Srivastava guided the company from incubation to the level where it now handles over 1.8B API transactions annually, serving payers, providers, patients, and partners. He will head the engineering initiative at Clarus, which provides reliable, cost-effective call management technology for thousands of physician offices across the U.S. and handles more than 9 million calls annually. Clarus was founded in Nashville in 2013 and Graham Healthcare Capital (GHCC) acquired the business in June 2019.
“Clarus is excited for Rishi to lead our accomplished team of engineers,” said Maradik, citing Srivastava’s accomplishments in the industry. “He will bring an innovative approach to our product and creative insights into healthcare technology. His experience and leadership will help us continue to expand Clarus’s market share among the 250,000 physician offices in the U.S.”
Prior to joining Change, Srivastava worked with many successful startups in Silicon Valley and the greater San Francisco Bay Area. Serving as Director of Engineering at Advisor Software, he initiated several ML and AI initiatives in the Wealth Management space involving portfolio rebalancing and optimization. Early on in his career, he held a key technology role in Financial Services at Quantal, where he built the company’s Risk Analytics trading platform from the ground up. It has since been acquired by State Street Bank - GX Labs. Additionally, he worked with Extensity in the company’s ERP Space, contributing to its successful IPO prior to Infor’s acquisition of the brand.
“I am excited to lead the Clarus engineering team,” Srivastava said. “There is tremendous growth opportunity for Clarus Medical Call Management Platform as the healthcare industry adapts new technologies that provide elevated experience for patients, providers, and office administrators.”
