“I am passionate about the role digital plays in the simplification of healthcare access and use,” Allen said. “We have an opportunity to influence the cost of care and improve health outcomes, by moving our clients closer to the people they serve. I’m honored to lead this dedicated strategic offering at Bounteous and build upon their foundation of co-innovating with clients in healthcare and other key industries.”

Additionally, Bounteous named two new appointments to its leadership team: the promotion of Jen Spofford to Managing Director, after previously serving as SVP of Client Service, and Jesse Dundon to Managing Director, following Bounteous’ acquisition of Hathway, the leading digital growth partner for restaurant and convenience store brands. These appointments follow the hiring of Raju Patel in February 2022 as Managing Director, with responsibility for the company’s expanded initiatives around the financial services industry.

Bounteous’ expanded go-to-market strategy empowers the fast-growing consultancy to continue to realize its vision of being the preeminent, independent digital innovation partner to the world’s most ambitious companies​.
