NAPLES, Fla., Dec. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN -- HealthLynked Corp. (OTCQB:HLYK), an AI-driven global healthcare network focused on improving care coordination and reducing healthcare costs, today announced the appointment of two nationally recognized leaders in insurance, employer benefits, and healthcare risk management to its Board of Directors: Chris G. Pulos, Senior Vice President of Employee Health & Benefits at Marsh McLennan Agency, and Jason Bishara, senior insurance executive at NSI Insurance Group.
These additions bring deep industry expertise as HealthLynked expands large-scale collaborations with payers, employer groups, and healthcare organizations seeking to improve outcomes through AI-powered care navigation and interoperable health data.
Chris G. Pulos: Employer Benefits & Value-Based Healthcare Strategist With 35 Years of Leadership
Mr. Pulos brings more than three decades of experience advising major employers, health systems, and national payors on benefit design, cost containment, data-driven plan management, and value-based care strategies. As Senior Vice President at Marsh McLennan Agency—one of the world 's largest employee benefits advisory firms—he has guided some of the most advanced employer health programs in the country.
"Chris 's expertise in how employer groups and payers structure and fund healthcare delivery is invaluable as we expand partnerships with insurers and Accountable Care Organizations, " said Dr. Michael Dent, Founder, CEO, and Chairman of HealthLynked. "His insight into cost-control initiatives and risk-based benefit design will help us align the HealthLynked Network and our AI platform, ARI, with the needs of the nation 's largest health purchasers. "
"HealthLynked is solving one of healthcare 's biggest problems—connecting patients, providers, and payers with real-time data and AI, " Pulos said. "The industry has talked about interoperability and cost transparency for years. HealthLynked is actually delivering it, and I 'm excited to help accelerate adoption among employers and insurers. "
Jason Bishara: Insurance and Fintech Innovator Focused on Risk Alignment for AI-Driven Healthcare Transformation
With more than 25 years of experience across insurance, banking, and fintech, Mr. Bishara brings deep expertise in risk management, capital markets, and executive liability. As Financial Practice Leader at NSI Insurance Group, he develops innovative insurance and risk-mitigation solutions that support better decision-making in high-stakes environments. That perspective will be invaluable as HealthLynked advances AI-driven care coordination and cost efficiency, where managing system-wide risk, ensuring trust, and protecting stakeholders are critical to scaling global healthcare transformation.
"Jason 's experience at the intersection of insurance, and technology is a perfect fit for where HealthLynked is heading, " said Dr. Dent. "As our AI-driven care navigation and appointment-booking solutions roll out to large insurers and employer groups, his understanding of risk alignment will be instrumental. "
