Brian Litten

EVP, Growth and Commercialization

Brian builds revenue engines inside healthcare companies, then helps them scale, sell, or reposition for what’s next. As EVP of Growth and Commercialization at AssureCare, he leads payer, provider, and pharmacy go-to-market strategy and execution. For him though, success isn’t measured in company metrics alone. To Brian, success means that a health plan member gets the right care without a fight, and a pharmacist or care manager have the best tools to deliver that care instead of having to work around a broken system.

Brian’s career started in the room where health policy gets written, as Chief Legislative Counsel to a New Jersey governor, working on reform aimed at expanding access and improving quality. That vantage point stuck with him, an early, close-up view of how the details of a system decide whether people get the care they need. Every role since has kept him on that same side of healthcare, the one that touches real people managing complex medication needs and chronic conditions.

Since then, Brian has led the strategic and financial preparation for a nonprofit-to-for-profit conversion at a major Blue Cross plan, built and exited two healthcare technology companies (one to an IPO, one to an M&A transaction), turned around a private equity-backed digital health company and doubled its ARR, and co-founded a healthcare AI startup that successfully spunout as an independent company. He is a firm believer that healthcare works best when the people building it understand both sides, the complexity of the system and the real person on the other side of it.

Today, Brian is building the go-to-market engine behind a platform that unifies population health, care management, utilization management, and pharmacy into one connected approach to whole-person care. He is drawn to healthcare companies with strong technology and an underdeveloped commercial story and is at his best when he is building the machine that turns that gap into revenue.

Brian holds a BA in Economics from Vassar College and a JD from Rutgers Law School, and was previously admitted to the bars of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and the District of Columbia. Outside of AssureCare, he serves on the board of Constructive Partnerships Unlimited, a nonprofit supporting people with special needs and housing insecurity.

Fun Fact: Brian volunteers as a sworn Deputy Sheriff with the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office in South Carolina.

Kristen Konstantinidis

SVP, Marketing and Communications

Kristen Konstantinidis is a marketing and communications executive who has spent two decades helping healthcare and health technology companies navigate the moments that define them – IPOs, market expansions, category creation, competitive pivots, and the increasingly urgent work of helping institutions receive new technology faster than they were built to.

As SVP of Marketing & Communications at AssureCare, she leads brand, demand generation, and narrative strategy – with marketing and communications as direct drivers of growth. Her focus is on building the language, proof points, and market presence that turn a platform with nearly 15 years of outcomes into a brand the market can’t ignore.

Most recently she served as Chief Communications Officer at Homeward Health, where she led brand positioning and developed the AI narrative strategy that helped establish Homeward as a recognized leader in AI-enabled care for rural America. Earlier in her career, she spent nearly seven years as SVP & General Manager of WE Communications’ Boston office, where she guided health tech, payer, biotech, and pharma organizations through the full arc of growth — taking companies public, launching products into competitive markets, building campaigns that shifted category perception, and helping clients tell the kind of stories that earn trust when the stakes are highest.

What drew her to AssureCare is the same thing that has driven her career: a belief that the right story, grounded in real outcomes and delivered at the right moment, can shift how markets move, how buyers decide, and ultimately how care is delivered. AssureCare has built a platform that connects stakeholders, turns complex data into usable insights, and enables care teams to intervene with clarity, speed, and purpose for more than 60 million people. Making that impossible to ignore is the work.

Kristen holds a BA in Political Science from Providence College. Outside of work, her family comes first, and she spends her time with her husband and two daughters.
