I look forward to working with Joe, Rich, and Steve in supporting Ramp's efforts to bring our healthcare connectivity solutions to market," stated Andrew Brown, Ramp CEO & President.
"Information technology -- the successful use of which is all around us -- represents the single best means of dramatically improving efficiency and thereby lowering healthcare costs, both in dollars and lives," stated Joseph Duffy.
