PHILADELPHIA, June 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- CloudMine, Inc., a secure, cloud-based platform that empowers healthcare organizations to build connected digital health applications, today announced the appointment of Stephen Wray as Chief Executive Officer. Wray is a recognized life sciences leader with a track record of fostering product innovation, developing client relationships, and scaling profitable businesses.  

"At the core, CloudMine enables healthcare organizations to operate at the nexus of innovation and compliance," said Wray. "Today, healthcare and biopharmaceutical leaders are seeking to advance their mission by assimilating and leveraging innovative technologies. CloudMine's Connected Health Cloud platform is increasingly recognized as a catalyst to achieve this goal. In a relatively short period, the CloudMine platform has demonstrated its value as an agile vehicle to the health cloud for a diverse set of customers. I am excited by the opportunity ahead and grateful to the entire CloudMine team for their many accomplishments to date."

Prior to joining CloudMine, Wray was CEO at MNG Direct, a Bensalem, Pa.-based platform solution provider that enables life sciences companies to engage with healthcare professionals. Previously, Wray served as the President and CEO of the global life sciences practice at Cadient Group, a full-service digital marketing agency located in Malvern, Pa. During his tenure, Wray brokered instrumental business relationships, and expanded the organization from an early-stage operation to a global organization with more than 150 full-time employees. In 2014, Cadient was acquired by Cognizant, a leading provider of information technology, consulting, and business process outsourcing services.

Between 1999 and 2004, Wray was North American President at Ogilvy Healthworld, where he led the consumer, professional and relationship marketing divisions of the agency, helping to foresee the impact that digital would have upon healthcare communications. Wray also spent a decade in leadership positions at Wyeth (now Pfizer), including Vice President, Marketing Communications.

Wray joins a leadership team at CloudMine that has generated significant early success, signing on innovative healthcare organizations such as the American Heart Association, Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals, Biomeme, Mylan Specialty, and Endo Pharmaceuticals. In 2016, Gartner Research named CloudMine's Connected Health Cloud as a "Cool Vendor", cementing the product's credibility and supporting accelerated growth for the company. In 2017, CloudMine added Redox, a leader in cloud-based healthcare integration and API services, and Infor, a leading provider of business applications specialized by industry and built for the cloud, to the company's roster of partners. CloudMine also tapped Medical Web Experts as a development partner capable of introducing medical practices, hospitals, pharmacies, and device manufacturers to the prospective client pipeline.

CloudMine co-founder Brendan McCorkle, who has served as CEO since the company's founding in 2011, will now serve as President and Chief Innovation Officer. "Steve has the right mix of business acumen and creative experience to execute our vision," said McCorkle. "I am going to remain an active player in the company and look forward to collaborating with Steve during this transition period to support CloudMine's sustainable upward trajectory."

"CloudMine is revolutionizing the way the healthcare industry develops applications that engage patients, improve the quality of care and reduce costs," said Mark Mitchell, Managing Director at Safeguard Scientifics and Board Member at CloudMine. "Steve is a seasoned executive with an entrepreneurial spirit who understands how to leverage relationships with healthcare leaders to drive value and opportunities. This is a key inflection point in CloudMine's history and we look forward to great things ahead." Safeguard led CloudMine's Series A financing in February 2015.
