Availity, the nation’s largest real-time health information network, announced on August 26, 2025, the appointment of Tim Bergeson as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). Bergeson will lead Availity’s revenue and sales organization, focusing on accelerating growth, strengthening partnerships, and advancing the company’s mission to simplify healthcare through innovation and interoperability.
Bergeson brings over two decades of expertise in enterprise healthcare technology sales, most recently from Salesforce, where he drove consistent growth and scaled high-performing teams. His prior roles at Oracle and SPS Commerce deepened his knowledge of data-driven operations and interoperability. “With AI and interoperability transforming healthcare, Availity is uniquely positioned to deliver the right information to the right organizations at the right time,” Bergeson said. His leadership will align sales and partnerships to reduce friction between payers and providers, enhancing patient care.
Headquartered in Jacksonville, FL, Availity facilitates billions of clinical, administrative, and financial transactions annually, connecting over 95% of U.S. payers and 3 million providers. “Tim joins Availity at a pivotal moment for healthcare,” said CEO Russ Thomas, emphasizing Bergeson’s role in scaling the company’s impact amid evolving technology and regulations. Availity’s recent leadership hires, including Sean Keneally as COO and Michael Gaven as CGO, reflect its aggressive growth strategy.
The healthcare interoperability market, valued at $3.4B in 2024, is projected to grow at a 13% CAGR through 2030, driven by AI and regulatory mandates like CMS interoperability rules. Availity’s platform, handling $61B in automated payments via partnerships like MediStreams, competes with firms like Epic Systems but excels in real-time data exchange. Bergeson’s expertise will bolster Availity’s leadership in this space.
Tim Bergeson’s appointment as CRO positions Availity to capitalize on healthcare’s digital transformation, leveraging his sales acumen to drive revenue and enhance stakeholder collaboration, ensuring better outcomes across the ecosystem.
