SOMERSET, N.J., March 24, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – MTBC, Inc. (the “Company” or “MTBC”) (Nasdaq: MTBC) (Nasdaq: MTBCP), a leading provider of proprietary, cloud-based healthcare IT solutions and services, today announced that the Board of Directors has appointed MTBC’s President, A. Hadi Chaudhry, to succeed Stephen Snyder as Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), effective March 29, 2021. Snyder, an attorney by background, will serve as Chief Strategy Officer and continue to serve as a Director, and pursued this change to enable him to devote a portion of his personal time to pro bono legal work, while continuing to lead the Company’s M&A growth and strategy.
“Leading alongside my colleagues over the past 10 years as President and then CEO has been the privilege of a lifetime and I couldn’t be more thankful to Mahmud, our visionary Founder and Executive Chairman, our Board, team members, customers, and shareholders for the opportunity to be part of MTBC’s amazing journey,” said Snyder. “Since 2013, the year before our IPO, we’ve grown our revenues ten-fold and have become one of the leading providers of proprietary, cloud-based healthcare IT solutions in the U.S. – and I am convinced that our best days are still to come.”
“For years, I have had the privilege of working closely with Hadi and he has been an indispensable partner to me and our broader team as we have all focused on growing the Company,” said Snyder. “Hadi is an exceptional leader who has been instrumental in our growth over the last decade and a half, and I enthusiastically support his promotion to CEO. I am convinced he will lead the Company to new heights.”
MTBC, Inc. went public in 2014, serving 1,030 healthcare providers. From 2013 to 2020 the Company has grown both its revenues and its adjusted EBITDA by more than 900%. Today, more than 40,000 healthcare providers leverage its cloud-based solutions to deliver care to tens of millions of patients across the United States. 2020 was a record-breaking year that included 68% year-over-year revenue growth, more than 100% growth in its bookings, greater than 200% growth in its healthcare provider customer base, the closing of its 25th and 26th acquisition, and record adjusted EBITDA.
“I am very excited and thankful for the opportunity to serve as CEO, building on the accomplishments and growth under Stephen’s strong leadership” said Chaudhry. “It is a privilege to succeed Stephen as CEO of MTBC. I am honored to continue representing our exceptional family of companies to the next level of success, and to continue to work alongside Stephen toward the Company’s continued growth. We more than doubled our revenue over the last two years and we aspire to again double our revenue over the next two years. We have an incredible team that is ready to develop new opportunities, and create value for our clients through innovative solutions.”
Chaudhry joined MTBC in 2002 and has served in various leadership capacities, including General Manager, Chief Information Officer and Vice President of Global Operations, prior to being appointed President in 2018. Chaudhry was also appointed a Director of the Company in 2019. His roles have involved senior leadership at MTBC’s international and U.S. operations. As CEO and President, Chaudhry will report to the Board of Directors.
Snyder joined MTBC in 2005 and served in various capacities including General Counsel, Chief Operating Officer and President, prior to his appointment as Chief Executive Officer. Beginning March 29, 2021, Snyder will continue to serve on the Board and as the Company’s Chief Strategy Officer, reporting to the Executive Chairman, and focused on corporate strategy, including further acceleration of the Company’s acquisitive growth.
