Bernstein will lead all finance, accounting, real estate and investor relations functions. As a key member of the executive leadership team, he will play a pivotal role in the strategic development of the company, including executing practice partnerships and other key strategic growth initiatives.

Bernstein has 20 years of experience in financial services and in high-growth healthcare organizations. Before joining OneOncology, Bernstein was the CFO for One Medical Group and, earlier, the CFO and Executive Vice President of Healthgrades.

David Stewart, Chief Information Officer (CIO), is responsible for defining and delivering information technology strategy and capabilities across OneOncology and practice partners, including infrastructure, security and technical services.
