Slone Partners, a nationwide executive search firm for life sciences, biotechnology, and healthcare companies, has announced the placement of Doug Lawrence as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at Hygieia, a leading digital therapeutics company for insulin therapy, where he will be responsible for leading operations, development, and global growth of the company and its d-Nav® Insulin Management Program.

"Now, with Doug serving as CEO, we will work together to build the nation's leading network of diabetes clinics. The world of healthcare delivery is rapidly changing, and Doug's leadership will allow us to accelerate our go-to-market plan. We are looking forward to partnering with others to simplify insulin therapy and improve outcomes."
