In 2019, Naomi founded Brightline to reinvent the way behavioral healthcare is delivered for children and families. Brightline is the first virtual behavioral health solution designed specifically to support kids, teens, and their families across a broad range of needs. With multidisciplinary care teams, evidence-based programs, and a family-focused approach, Brightline brings care to families across the country — right when and where they need it. Prior to starting Brightline, she was the Chief Growth Officer for Livongo and a founding team member of Castlight Health. She also served as a leader in McKinsey’s Silicon Valley office, helping to build their West Coast healthcare practice.
“Naomi is one of the preeminent entrepreneurs in all of healthcare, having led multiple successful endeavors that have transformed the industry,” said Rick Abbott, Founder and CEO of Lyn Health. “Her willingness to tackle some of healthcare’s largest challenges shows courage that exemplifies the values of Lyn. I am honored to have her guidance as we bring our pioneering polychronic care model to more employers and health plans across the country.”
Currently, more than 34 million Americans meet the clinical definition of polychronic, growing to an estimated 83 million Americans by 2030. Lyn is poised to solve this problem.
“The burden of managing multiple chronic conditions is substantial and overwhelming,” said Allen. “I have witnessed these struggles in both my current and prior companies, and it is inspiring to see Lyn bringing hope to these members through their work. The work Rick and his team are doing is needed now more than ever.”
