“Richard’s deep industry knowledge combined with his executive experience and know-how — developed through his time as CEO of Sunquest and his roles as president of Vista Consulting Group (VCG) and as a Vista operating principal — make him the perfect candidate to lead Greenway Health in this exciting moment in the company’s growth,” said Vista Founder, Chairman & CEO Robert F. Smith. “Vista is committed to improving how healthcare is administered, and Richard’s leadership will ensure Greenway continues to provide the clinical, financial and administrative software solutions that physicians rely on to serve their patients.”
As an operating principal at Vista Equity Partners, Atkin served on the boards of a number of Vista companies, partnering with CEOs to chart their companies’ strategies and growth. He previously served as the president of VCG where he led over 80 consultants and software and technology experts dedicated to providing insights and proven solutions that enable Vista companies to grow their businesses. Prior to joining VCG, Richard was CEO of Sunquest Information Systems Inc., a market leading provider of hospital laboratory information systems. Sunquest was a founding member and Richard served on the boards of CommonWell Health Alliance, and the Digital Pathology Association.
“Greenway’s customers dedicate themselves to providing the best possible care for their patients,” Atkin said. “I am honored to have the opportunity to continue the work begun under Scott Zimmerman to bring a new generation of Greenway solutions to market, and I want to thank Scott for his contributions and wish him the best in his new endeavors. I am looking forward to working with the talented and passionate professionals at Greenway to serve our customers and positively impact the way care is delivered and received across the U.S. daily.”
