Building Momentum for What’s Next

When we launched Staritas 90 days ago, we did so with a clear purpose: to help healthcare organizations make every choice clear.

While our name is new, our mission is built on decades of experience serving healthcare leaders with independent data, trusted expertise, and technology designed to support better decisions. Over the past three months, we’ve focused on building a strong foundation for the future while continuing to deliver the insights and solutions our clients rely on every day.

Launching a new company is never just about creating a new brand. It’s about building an organization that can adapt to a rapidly changing healthcare landscape while remaining focused on the needs of its clients. And I’m incredibly proud of what our team has accomplished in a short period of time.

Throughout this transition, our employees have remained committed to delivering exceptional service, our clients have continued to place their trust in us, and our partners have helped us move forward with confidence.

That momentum has been evident across every part of our business.

We’ve continued to invest in our products, strengthen customer relationships, expand our presence across the healthcare industry, and engage with leaders who are tackling some of healthcare’s most complex operational challenges. Whether the conversation is about supply chain resilience, capital planning, health technology management, or clinical operations, one theme continues to emerge: organizations need trusted information that helps them move from reacting to making confident, proactive decisions.

That is exactly what Staritas was built to provide.

One milestone that I’m particularly excited about is the addition of Rajneesh Kumar as our Chief Technology Officer.

Raj brings deep experience leading technology transformation, scaling enterprise platforms, and delivering innovative digital solutions. His leadership strengthens our ability to accelerate product innovation while ensuring we continue delivering the trusted, independent insights our clients expect.

Technology is changing healthcare at an unprecedented pace. Artificial intelligence, advanced analytics, automation, and connected data are creating entirely new opportunities to improve decision-making. But innovation only matters when it solves real problems for healthcare organizations.

Raj’s leadership will help ensure we continue building solutions that are not only innovative, but practical, scalable, and focused on the challenges our clients face everyday.

We see a future where AI-powered solutions automatically gather the data, insights and analysis healthcare supply chain leaders need to cut through complexity and noise and guide them to the best decisions for their business. And we are investing intentionally to deliver it.

Those investments are designed to help us deliver even greater value across healthcare supply chain, capital planning, recall and alert management, health technology management, and the many other areas where our clients depend on us to bring clarity to complex decisions.

As we continue to grow, our commitment to independence remains one of our greatest strengths. Healthcare organizations face increasing financial pressure, workforce challenges, evolving regulations, and rapidly changing technology. In that environment, objective data and trusted expertise become more valuable than ever.

We believe our role is not simply to provide information. Our role is to help leaders make decisions with greater confidence.

Looking ahead, you’ll continue to see us invest in intelligent technologies, strengthen our product portfolio, deepen strategic partnerships, and expand the ways we help healthcare organizations improve operational performance. We are building for the long term, always guided by the needs of our clients and the impact those decisions have on patient care.

The first 90 days have reinforced what we believed from the very beginning: there is tremendous opportunity to help healthcare organizations navigate complexity with greater confidence and clarity.

To our clients, partners, and employees, thank you for being part of this journey. Your trust, collaboration, and feedback continue to shape who we are becoming.

We’ve accomplished a great deal in our first 90 days, but we’re just getting started, and

 I couldn’t be more excited for what comes next.

— Emmet O’Gara, Chief Executive Officer, Staritas
