Meet Our Team

Nick works on strategic projects with the New Business, Sales, and Ops Teams as well as his daily finance responsibilities. All this is a piece of cake compared to juggling his three boys at home who never sleep.

Nick began his career in New York City in Global Clearing Services and Commercial Securities as a Controller for Bear Stearns. After the 2008 merger, JP Morgan Investment Bank hired Nick to price intricate and exotic securities with their fixed income trading desk. He is a graduate of Lehigh University in Pennsylvania, with a double major in Accounting and Finance. Nick is a fourth generation entrepreneur and small business operator. After a thorough market analysis, his entrepreneurial spirit led him to create Innovare Medical Media in April 2010, to develop a new revenue stream and marketing venue for healthcare organizations. Outside of the office, you may find Nick spending time with his wife and trying to keep up with his three sons.  Skiing down double black diamonds in the winter and hacking away on the golf course in the summer are a few things that Nick enjoys.

Nick is responsible for New Business Development, Project Management, Financial Planning, and whatever else that needs to get done!

Mike is responsible for New Business Strategy as it relates to our Hospital partners and also oversees our Sales Organization.  He has come up with some of his most effective strategies while between holes on the golf course.

Mike joined Innovare after an eight year tenure at Pfizer Inc., the world’s largest research- based pharmaceutical company.  At Pfizer, Mike assumed several roles in sales and training initiatives, which allowed him to work as a liaison between many of the markets within Pfizer. These included marketing and medical functions, in addition to the managed markets system that allowed Pfizer to develop stronger partnerships with their accounts. Mike also collaborated on the launch of the largest closed-loop, multi-channel marketing program at Pfizer. This program maximized the value of individual interactions with a specific focus on market segmentation. In addition, this provided a platform through which Pfizer could align more closely with the needs of Hospitals and better discern the impact of patient flow and healthcare utilization. Mike holds a MBA in Management from Hofstra University in New York, as well as a B.S. in Finance from St. John’s University in New York. His wife, Kathleen, a fellow St. John’s graduate, is a Senior Physician Assistant in the Department of Medicine at New York Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center. Outside of the office, you may find Mike trying to maintain his handicap on the golf course, or spending time playing with his family.
