In the role, Greninger will be responsible for developing the company’s talent management strategy, including recruitment, succession planning and employee development and retention. The publicly traded company counted more than 400 employees in 2018, and is planning to continue to add following 10 straight quarters of revenue growth, per a press release.

“Our team strives to exceed our customers’ expectations while ensuring a culture of compliance,” Protenus CEO  Nick Culbertson said in a statement. “We are excited to leverage Amy and Brittany’s incredible industry experience as we continue to prioritize the needs of our customers.”

The hiring comes as the company continues growth, which makes a platform to provide visibility for healthcare systems into how data is being used. In August, it announced a $17 million Series C round.
