Evers, who joined Woebot Health in March, said Levy’s formidable experience building businesses and innovating care and health will be instrumental to the company’s next stage of development. “Monique’s training in clinical psychology and experience across some of the world’s most innovative data, digital health and therapeutics businesses bring incredible value to our operations and team. Her ability to develop a clear strategy in complex markets, grow high-functioning teams and deliver excellence to partners make her the ideal executive to help drive rapid growth.”
Levy’s track record includes executive-level positions at some of the world’s leading bio, data and consumer health technology companies, where she worked with top scientists and technologists to develop novel products and innovative commercial partnerships. Before joining Woebot Health, Levy was Chief Strategy Officer at the precision CNS biotechnology company BlackThorn Therapeutics, where she led corporate and platform strategy as well as corporate development. Before that she was Global Head of Strategy, Partnerships and Products at the precision medicine company iCarbonX Group. Levy has also held executive-level positions at PatientsLikeMe and Decision Resources Group, and served on Google Health’s Advisory Board.
“My life’s purpose is to find ways to improve health, especially mental health, by leveraging technology and ingenuity,” said Levy. “Woebot Health is an extraordinary company in part because it has thought deeply about how to preserve the element of therapeutic alliance in a digital therapeutic. Our technology works and scales, and that makes this a very hopeful time for changing the status quo in mental health.”
Levy holds a Master of Science degree in Clinical Health Psychology from the Albert Einstein Medical School and Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Yeshiva University and a Bachelor of Science degree in Foreign Service, Science Technology and International Affairs from Georgetown University.
