Meier will oversee corporate finance, accounting, investor relations and reporting for Cachet. He will also serve on the company’s executive team and report to Cachet’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey Mack.
"Bryan is an accomplished executive with significant financial and operational expertise, and I’m thrilled to welcome him to Cachet,” said Mack. “He will be an exceptional addition to our team as we continue to navigate rapid growth and transformation from start-up to industry trailblazer.”
“It is a tremendous opportunity to join Cachet at such an exciting time,” said Meier. “I’m eager to work with Jeff and Cachet’s executive team to help scale the highly innovative and fast growing business for long-term operational and financial success."
Meier, a seasoned financial executive with more than 25 years’ experience, began his career at Arthur Anderson and has since served in numerous CFO positions from startups to $4 billion corporations.
