Solomon Partners Presents

In the first episode of our Healthcare podcast series focusing on MedSpas, John Wheeler, CEO of Alpha Aesthetics Partners, joins Solomon Managing Director Brad Hildebrand to discuss the growth of the aesthetics industry along with top strategies for success in the sector.

Mark Makepeace, CEO of Wilshire Indexes, and Jeff Jacobs, Head of Mergers & Acquisitions at Solomon Partners discuss how new technologies, data sources and collaborations are driving changes in the global index industry. The conversation explores the growth of passive funds, the dynamics impacting ESG investing and the enormous potential for evolving technologies like AI to fundamentally reshape the investment industry.

In our latest episode, Dr. Rushika Fernandopulle, co-founder & CEO of Iora Health, and Ryan Stewart discuss the transformation of the healthcare delivery model. As a result of payment reform and a world where face-to-face medical encounters have not been possible, Healthcare is rapidly shifting towards an omnichannel communications environment, where patients are engaging where they want to be met - virtually - over voice, video and text modalities as well as in-office, as appropriate.

With an increasing shift towards value-based risk models, primarily in Medicare, Dr. Fernandopulle talks about the transformation of his business through collaboration with the nation’s leading Medicare Advantage plans and, most recently, through direct contracting with the federal government’s Center for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) which launched its Global and Professional Direct Contracting model on April 1st.

Our latest episode covers the increased activity in take private transactions. Solomon's Head of M&A and COO of Investment Banking Jeff Jacobs and M&A Director Chris Moynihan discuss the market trends driving the uptick in take-private M&A and the complexities behind these deals.
