Details
Firely, a pioneer in FHIR-based health IT solutions, announced a leadership transition. Rien Wertheim, the founder and former CEO, played a foundational role in the evolution of the standard, notably dedicating resources to FHIR development as early as 2012. This commitment led to the creation of international events like FHIR DevDays and the establishment of Firely itself. Martine Berden, the incoming CEO, has contributed since joining Firely in 2022 by evolving the company’s brand and long-term direction. She is focused on enabling next-generation healthcare interoperability and expanding Firely's role as a trusted FHIR partner. Ewout Kramer, one of the original co-creators of FHIR, commented that leadership like Martine's is crucial because it combines technical understanding with deep insight into business growth and market trends. Firely remains committed to open standards and community, moving forward with the mission of enabling better healthcare by making health data work—openly, securely, and at scale.
