– USA, UT – Owlet Baby Care Inc. today announced the appointment of Zane Burke, former CEO of Livongo, to its Board of Directors.
Zane Burke brings over 20 years of operational and executive leadership experience in health technology. He most recently led Livongo through its initial public offering and merger with Teladoc Health, which valued the combined company at $18.5 billion. Burke holds a shared vision with Owlet to ensure infants benefit from technological innovations during some of the most crucial and vulnerable years of life.
“Zane has helped usher in some of the largest technological advancements in healthcare from driving the adoption of electronic health records as president of Cerner, to helping provide a new experience for people using digital health technologies to better manage their chronic conditions at Livongo. Zane’s expertise in the health technology and digital health industries will be invaluable as we work together to deliver better healthcare experiences for parents and infants,” said CEO and co-founder, Kurt Workman. “Zane brings years of financial and operational expertise that we believe will be a vital resource to the Company as we reimagine infant health, starting at home.”
In February 2021, Owlet entered a definitive merger agreement with Sandbridge Acquisition Corporation (NYSE: SBG), a special purpose acquisition company. Upon completion of the transaction, Ken Suslow and Domenico De Sole, members of the Board of Directors of Sandbridge, are expected to join Burke, Lior Susan, Laura Durr, Amy McCollough, Kurt Workman, and Michael Abbott on the Board of Directors of the post-combination company.
