CHARLESTOWN, Mass. — Hallmark Health, a leader in healthcare workforce management technology, has expanded its executive leadership team with the appointment of Jim Teas as Chief Revenue Officer and Nick Brignola as Chief Financial Officer. The additions come as the company accelerates its mission to deliver innovative, provider-aligned workforce solutions to healthcare organizations.
CEO Bharat Sundaram said the appointments underscore Hallmark’s commitment to scaling its impact across the healthcare industry. “We’re thrilled to welcome Jim and Nick to the Hallmark team,” Sundaram said. “Each brings deep expertise and proven leadership in healthcare and enterprise growth, and their perspectives will be invaluable as we continue our mission to be the most provider-aligned strategic workforce partner in the industry.”
Jim Teas joins Hallmark from Workday, where he served as Vice President of Large Enterprise Healthcare, overseeing sales for some of the company’s largest provider clients. With more than two decades of healthcare sales experience, including leadership roles at SAS, GE Healthcare, and IDX Systems, Teas will lead Hallmark’s go-to-market functions—sales, account management, and marketing.
“Hallmark’s platform is reshaping how health systems approach staffing and workforce sustainability,” said Teas. “I’m excited to build on this momentum and help our clients realize measurable impact in cost savings, staff retention, and patient care.”
As CFO, Nick Brignola brings a strong background in financial leadership across the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors. He most recently served as CFO at Surgical Notes, where he played a key role in its acquisition by Surgical Information Systems. Brignola has also held senior finance positions at R1, Schering-Plough, Shionogi Pharma, and Caris Life Sciences.
“Hallmark is uniquely positioned at the intersection of healthcare and technology,” said Brignola. “I look forward to supporting its continued growth and helping health systems unlock workforce efficiencies at scale.”
Hallmark’s platform is designed to help health systems recruit, onboard, deploy, and retain top-performing staff through data-driven workforce strategies. The company reports that its clients have achieved more than 30% savings in contingent labor costs, reduced turnover by over 20%, and improved patient care outcomes by maximizing use of employed staff and increasing scheduling flexibility.
With its expanded leadership team, Hallmark is poised to deepen its partnerships with healthcare providers and further its goal of transforming the healthcare workforce landscape.
