Health engagement platform company Sharecare announced two new hires. Carlos Ferraro Cavallini will join the team as senior vice president of business-to-business technologies and Dave Springer will serve as president of Ornish Lifestyle Medicine, a business unit Sharecare obtained in last year's Healthways acquisition. Cavallini was most recently head of enterprise architecture for Latin America and the Caribbean at Salesforce, while Springer previously ran the US brand at St. Jude Medical.

Both hires are tied to the Healthways acquisition, as Cavallini will also be in charge of Sharecare's Brazilian JV SulAmérica Serviços de Saúde S.A., which also came into the company's portfolio via the Healthways acquisition.

“Sharecare’s passion for leveraging innovation to make populations healthier, happier and more productive isn’t limited to the American healthcare system, and we are excited to embark on expanding into Brazil through our joint venture with our partner, SulAmérica,” Sharecare CEO Jeff Arnold said in a statement. “With Carlos helping to drive that effort, especially given his technological – and cultural – competence, we are forging a clear path to help SulAmérica’s members leverage one comprehensive platform putting all their health in one place, and make a positive impact on the health of Brazil."
