BrightPlan, the Silicon Valley technology company revolutionizing financial wellness benefits, today announced that Neha Mirchandani, a marketing executive with 25 years of experience, has been named Chief Marketing Officer of the company. BrightPlan also appointed HR leaders to its Board of Directors and Advisory Board as the company continues to experience strong demand for its financial wellness solution in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

A member of BrightPlan’s executive management team, Mirchandani is responsible for the strategic direction of the company’s marketing and branding initiatives.
