MedTrainer, an all-in-one healthcare compliance platform, has named Rishi Patel as its next Chief Financial Officer. Patel brings more than a decade of financial leadership experience across private equity-backed SaaS companies, with a demonstrated track record of scaling operations and positioning businesses for sustained growth. The appointment reflects a broader pattern among PE-backed healthcare technology companies, where seasoned financial leadership is increasingly brought in to operationalize growth, support product expansion, and prepare for potential strategic milestones.

In his new role, Patel will oversee financial strategy across MedTrainer, focusing on directing resources toward areas that generate the greatest value for both the company and its clients.

Patel most recently served as CFO of Gravyty, a fundraising and engagement platform, where he modernized financial infrastructure and managed mergers and acquisitions that broadened the company's capabilities and market reach. He previously held leadership positions at OnSolve and BeyondTrust, where he strengthened financial reporting and helped those organizations maximize client impact. All three companies are backed by prominent private equity firms, including Francisco Partners, Veritas Capital, and K1 Investment Management.

"We've spent years building technology that takes the burden off healthcare's back office, and Rishi is going to help us solidify the same discipline in running our own business," said MedTrainer CEO Steve Gallion. "He brings the rigor, operational clarity, and collaborative mindset needed to pave the way for investment in retention, support, and product development on behalf of our clients."

Joining During a Period of Growth

Patel's arrival comes at a pivotal growth stage for MedTrainer, with a mandate to align the organization behind its core mission of simplifying compliance. MedTrainer's platform enables healthcare organizations to keep staff trained, credentialed, and compliant while reducing the administrative overhead that diverts resources from patient care. Healthcare providers face an increasingly complex regulatory landscape, with federal and state compliance requirements continuing to expand across credentialing, privacy, and workplace safety. Platforms that consolidate these workflows into a single system have gained traction as organizations seek to reduce reliance on manual processes and fragmented tools.

"Healthcare runs in my family, and that's given me a front-row seat to both the calling and the chaos," said Rishi Patel, Chief Financial Officer at MedTrainer. "I'm excited to join a company that is making the industry better. Getting the business side right isn't separate from the mission. It's what makes the mission possible."

Patel is an advocate for leveraging technology — including AI-powered capabilities — to enhance the impact of skilled teams. Under his leadership, MedTrainer plans to continue investing in smart automation paired with human expertise, supporting the company's pace of innovation, improving client support, and giving healthcare teams greater confidence to focus on care rather than compliance.

Experience and Credentials

Patel holds an MBA from Georgia Tech and a BBA in Accounting from the University of Georgia. He is a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and holds a certificate in Executive Communication & Leadership Presence from Emory University's Goizueta Business School.

His appointment coincides with MedTrainer's announcement of several strategic partnerships and the completion of end-to-end privileging within its platform, closing the credentialing loop. Patel rounds out an executive team focused on delivering value to healthcare organizations, expanding the company's client base, and maintaining rapid product innovation to address evolving industry needs.
