Brendhan Green Joins Octave as Chief Partnerships Officer
Brendhan Green, a strategic leader with a long career focused on bridging payers and employers with healthcare providers, has joined Octave as Chief Partnerships Officer.
With over three decades of experience forging and improving partnerships between providers, health plans, and health systems, Green is a key addition to Octave’s leadership team as it works toward national expansion with new and innovative payer partnerships, on the heels of its Series C funding round. He will closely collaborate with Octave’s existing partners and support these organizations in their goal to improve access to high-quality behavioral health care for patients.
Green joins the Octave leadership team with an already strong connection to the company and its mission: He’s served as a strategic advisor since 2019, helping Octave drive sustainable growth by delivering value to payers, providers, and clients.
“Brendhan has been a trusted advisor to Octave prior to starting, where he time and again proved his skill in understanding payer needs and how to build sustainable value-based strategies,” said Octave Co-Founder and CEO Sandeep Acharya. “Brendhan’s deep experience, sharp insight, and seasoned leadership are exactly what Octave needs to steer our next phase of growth.”
Green worked at One Medical Group for nine years, joining during the early years and seeing the company through its IPO. As Vice President, Strategic Partnerships, Green played an instrumental role in developing health systems partnerships, which provided pathways to support One Medical’s rapid expansion. Green collaborated with the One Medical team to build partnerships with leading academic health systems, such as UCSF Health.
Prior to One Medical, Green worked with several payers, including Aetna as Vice President, Network Management. Green has implemented successful value-based care initiatives, led Medicare Advantage market expansions, and developed and managed high-performing provider networks. Most recently, he’s focused on helping to grow early-stage healthcare companies, such as primary care provider Galileo.
“Navigating the healthcare system and finding accessible care remains overly complex for patients and their families. This is particularly the case for those that need access to high quality behavioral health services. I look to work with companies that seek to transform that system rather than simply accepting the status quo,” Green says.
“Octave is positioned to be an industry gamechanger with its approach to care delivery and access to outstanding behavioral health providers, and I’m excited to help lead the company into its next stage of growth.”
