SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Woebot Health announced today it has appointed Joseph Gallagher to the newly-created position of Vice President of Product. Gallagher, who reports to Founder and President Alison Darcy, will manage the product and content teams as they develop a new generation of related, responsive and targeted digital therapeutics and behavioral health products.
“Joe’s vast experience makes him a gifted product strategist,” Darcy said. “He has worked with a myriad of technologies to address specific user needs, and understands how to translate a completely new way of thinking into innovative products that people genuinely love. I’m absolutely delighted he’s with us.”
