Gwen Cantarera Named Head of Marketing at Pivot Point Consulting

Cantarera steps into the role with a mandate to bridge the gap between complex consulting capabilities and the practical, often urgent needs of healthcare technology leaders. According to Michelle Lichte, the firm's Chief Growth Officer, Cantarera’s ability to articulate how technology can alleviate clinician workloads rather than increase them was pivotal to her hiring. Previously, Cantarera held senior marketing and operations positions at Nordic, Pursuit Healthcare Advisors, Leidos Health, and Vitalize Consulting Solutions, where she managed global strategies for approximately 60 consulting services.

At Pivot Point, she will collaborate closely with Chief Delivery Officer Marc Hirshfield to synchronize marketing execution with the firm’s long-term growth objectives. Hirshfield, who has worked with Cantarera in previous roles, cited her judgment and aptitude for relationship-building as essential assets for the firm’s upcoming expansion phase. For her part, Cantarera views the transition as an opportunity to amplify the firm’s existing repository of client success stories and technical insights. Her ultimate objective, she noted, is to ensure that the technology deployed by their healthcare partners operates seamlessly in the background, supporting patient care without adding unnecessary friction to the clinical environment.
