ORLANDO, Fla., April 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- eMindful, a seasoned leader in the behavioral health and well-being industry, today announced the appointment of Mary Pigatti as Chief Executive Officer. The company offers proven mindfulness programs to help individuals and teams optimize their emotional health and lead happier, healthier and more productive lives.
Pigatti brings more than 25 years of experience in successfully leading organizational growth, innovation and investments for digital health and performance solutions companies. Prior to joining eMindful, she served as Chief Executive Officer of Retrofit, Inc., a leading provider of personalized, weight-management and disease-prevention programs, and in 2018, led the company through a successful acquisition by Livongo Health, Inc.
Throughout her career, Pigatti's top priority has been employee and client happiness. She empowers her teams to create a culture of innovation with a dedication to discovering new and better ways to serve their clients.

"What excites me the most about joining eMindful is the opportunity to bring eMindful's evidence-based programs to other business leaders and help them build sustainable cultures and great places to work, leading to great business results," said Pigatti.
"Mary has a strong ability to translate strategic insight into tactical execution," said Diana LaTour, Board Member, eMindful.

With Mary at the helm, eMindful is poised for continued market expansion, fueled by an aligned commitment to provide employers and health plans sustainable outcomes."
"Distractions and mindlessness are costing employers $300 billion annually in lost productivity, and almost $200 billion in stress-related-illness expenses. Our eM Life digital product which incorporates a unique human-touch approach delivers the solutions and ROI needed to combat these problems head on," said Pigatti. "Aetna, an eMindful client, has already achieved a validated 9.75X ROI by offering mindfulness programs. Imagine if all companies incorporated mindfulness into their corporate culture."
