Tucker will also help to grow Nym’s New York office. As part of her role, she will lead and scale the product team to support and further accelerate the rapid adoption of the Company’s automated medical coding platform in emergency departments across the US, as well as the expansion of Nym’s footprint in urgent care centers and other outpatient settings.

Prior to Flatiron, Melisa worked in management consulting at McKinsey & Company and in early-stage venture capital. She has an MBA from Harvard Business School and an A.B. from Princeton University.

“I am thrilled to be joining Nym’s exceptional team at this pivotal moment in its growth and innovation,” Tucker said. “Nym has developed AI and clinical language understanding capabilities that have the power to transform revenue cycle management, as well as the way we understand and use healthcare information to deliver better care for patients. I look forward to helping Nym build upon its success to date with new capabilities and solutions that improve real-time understanding of patients and their care journeys.”

Nym also recently added Julien Dubuis, Senior Vice President and Head of Commercial, to its executive leadership team. He joined Nym from Clarify Health, where he served in roles of increasing responsibility, including Vice President of Sales and General Manager of the company’s New York office.
