BOULDER, Colo., Aug. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- BranchLab, the AI-native healthcare technology company redefining how health brands reach and engage patients, today announced the appointment of Dan Parkes as Chief Technology Officer. Parkes will lead BranchLab's engineering, AI, and data science teams as the company expands its outcome-based platform for privacy-first audience design, omnichannel activation, and health outcomes measurement.

Parkes brings over two decades of technical and leadership experience, having built and scaled advanced systems at pioneering companies including Placecast, Ericsson, and Amazon. His expertise lies in architecting enterprise-grade platforms that derive actionable insights from complex, multimodal data, making him uniquely positioned to accelerate BranchLab's mission of transforming healthcare marketing to positively impact health outcomes.

"Dan's background sits exactly at the intersection of regulated data, AI, and enterprise infrastructure, precisely where BranchLab operates at scale," said Josh Walsh, CEO of BranchLab.
