Atlanta, Georgia, Feb. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Avelead, a Streamline Health Company (NASDAQ: STRM), today announced the expansion of its leadership team to include Sean Sykes, Chief Technology Officer, and Michael Yzerman, Senior Vice President of Services. Avelead established these leadership positions to effectively manage future growth, strengthen the Avelead Platform, including RevID – the industry-leading automated charge reconciliation solution, and enhance delivery of the Company’s services to help healthcare organizations put an end to lost revenue. Avelead’s customers will benefit from improvements in Avelead’s product management and development, as well as onboarding and solution delivery.

Prior to joining Avelead, Sean Sykes was Vice President of Technology at Hospice Source, where his responsibilities included developing product roadmaps, overseeing software development lifecycles, and IT infrastructure management. During his 30+ year healthcare-focused career, he’s helped develop startups into full-fledged companies, taken 15 unique products to market, and worked in both large-scale enterprise IT infrastructures and small-scale businesses. He received his BBA from the University of Connecticut and is a certified PMP. As Chief Technology Officer, Sykes will be instrumental in developing the direction of Avelead’s current products and executing the product roadmap.

“Avelead is at a crucial and exciting point in its history. As we continue our mission of enabling hospitals to thrive, I’m looking forward to leading the Innovation division and improving our portfolio of solutions,” said Sean Sykes, CTO, Avelead.

At CHS, he helped build and lead a full-service corporate IT organization of over 650 corporate professionals and 1,000 market-based staff for the multi-billion-dollar healthcare system. As a former Deputy CIO of a 150+ hospital system, Michael has extensive experience working within the hospital setting, providing him with inside knowledge of the challenges healthcare CFOs and CIOs face every day. Yzerman will lead Avelead’s Services department to provide an improved onboarding experience, implement Avelead’s revenue integrity solutions, and deliver superior customer service and support. Yzerman holds a Master of Social Work from the University of Toronto and was recognized as one of Computerworld’s Premier 100 Technology Leaders in 2017.
