Hims & Hers

Hims & Hers is the leading health and wellness platform on a mission to help the world feel great through the power of better health. Founded in 2017, the company has built a customer-first platform with offerings across sexual health, dermatology, mental health, and weight management. Oxeon was an early investor in Hims & Hers, and in 2019 partnered with the leadership team to find their first Chief Medical Officer who would bring clinical expertise and excellence as well as deep knowledge in the regulatory landscape of telemedicine. Oxeon helped to find and hire former Walgreens executive Dr. Patrick Carroll, who has become an anchor of Hims & Hers, joining the board in 2022 and continuing to lead and grow the medical team.“Hims & Hers has been an incredibly rewarding chapter of my professional life focused on growth. We were a 30-person team when I joined as Chief Medical Officer and since then I have led our clinical team through rapid scaling, an IPO, and the launch of multiple new categories. Through all of our growth, we’ve kept our focus on clinical excellence as the brand has become a household name.” - Dr. Patrick Carroll, Chief Medical Officer, Hims & HersAs the company has expanded its offerings across the platform, Dr. Carroll has turned to Oxeon to help bring in more leadership and medical expertise. In 2022 the company needed a public-facing psychiatrist to lead its new Mental Health offering and in just eight weeks, Oxeon helped hire renowned clinical psychiatrist, professor, and author, Dr. Daniel Lieberman, as their Senior Vice President of Mental Health.In 2023, with the booming outlook for GLP-1 drugs entering the market, Hims & Hers began building its Weight Loss offering and called on Oxeon again for help finding an entrepreneurial obesity medicine expert to join the team. With Oxeon’s help, Hims & Hers hired Dr. Craig Primack, former President of the Obesity Medicine Association and Founder of the Scottsdale Weight Loss Center. The company was also expanding their pharmacy operations and needed an expert in pharmaceutical safety and compliance. Oxeon conducted a nationwide search and placed nationally renowned compound pharmacy expert and former Chief Executive Officer of Medi-Fare Drug, Pat Stephens, into the role of Senior Vice President of Pharmacy Safety, Quality & Compliance.‍‍
