Adit Parasuram is a growth-focused SaaS executive who thrives at the intersection of healthcare technology and strategic innovation. As CEO of Health Cost IQ, he brings over a decade of healthcare tech expertise, previously driving strategic partnerships and commercial expansion at OM Healthcare, one of the first direct-to-consumer SaaS platforms in the industry. His subsequent role at Binary Fountain, a Press Ganey company, deepened this expertise—leading business development with a focus on partnerships and M&A, where he sharpened his ability to identify synergies and unlock value in competitive markets.

Before entering healthcare, Adit honed his growth instincts in digital media. At VUBIQUITY, an Amdocs company (NASDAQ: DOX), he helped architect the company's global expansion, scaling operations to 30+ countries and contributing to over $250M in annual revenue. Earlier in his career, he held senior leadership roles at British Telecommunications (LSE: BT.A) and Intelsat, developing a knack for building new market verticals and navigating complex, multinational environments.

Beyond his executive work, Adit serves on the board of The Plastic Surgery Foundation, supporting research and international collaboration among plastic surgeons worldwide. He's driven by a simple belief: the best businesses are built when strategic rigor meets genuine curiosity about what's possible.

Health Cost IQ (HCIQ) was inspired by founder Jude Odu’s doctoral research into rising healthcare costs in the United States. He discovered that although wasteful healthcare spending at the national level has hovered around 30% for years, the situation within private employers was far worse.

A seasoned and respected healthcare professional for over two decades, Jude’s career in the health industry spans acute care hospitals, commercial payers, software, and academics. He spent years managing clinical analytics and decision support systems for University Hospitals, a multi-hospital health system in Northeast Ohio and worked in the commercial healthcare software industry developing high-impact software solutions for diverse areas such as value-based reimbursement, critical care, population health management, healthcare operations, patient risk-adjustment, and predictive modeling.

An author of several college-level books, Jude holds a Bachelor’s in Healthcare Administration (Summa cum Laude) from Ursuline College, a Master’s in Health Science from The George Washington University, and is an All But Dissertation (ABD) Ph.D. candidate with research interests in healthcare quality outcomes and their correlations with hospital reimbursement rates. Over the years, he has developed and taught college-level courses in healthcare informatics, EHR systems, and business intelligence.

With more than two decades of experience advancing healthcare innovation, Lyn is a strategic leader recognized for developing cutting-edge analytic systems and transformative health plan strategies. As Chief Commercial Officer at Health Cost IQ, Lyn identifies growth opportunities that impact innovation in the product and expand the company’s reach.

Lyn’s 20+ years of experience began when he helped create NavMD, initially starting out as a research and development company pioneering data-driven healthcare decisions, at a time when companies were not yet thinking about harnessing the power of their data. Due to its success, the company was purchased by Kompass Kapital, where Lyn stayed on for several years.  He joined Health Cost IQ because, in his words, “nothing has energized me quite like what this company has built.” His passion for driving healthcare transformation combined with his deep industry insight allows Lyn to create lasting growth for companies and their clients across the healthcare ecosystem.
