LifeSpeak Names Jason Campana as CEO to Accelerate AI-Driven Preventative Wellness Innovation

Veteran SaaS leader to drive growth, partnerships expansions and technology advancements following go-private transaction, targeting 20% year-over-year growth

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- LifeSpeak Inc., the pioneer in digital preventative wellbeing solutions, today announced the appointment of Jason Campana as Chief Executive Officer to spearhead the company's next phase of growth following its go-private transaction and $50 million funding infusion from new investors.

With extensive leadership in SaaS and health technology, Campana has guided organizations through pivotal moments of growth, helping define markets, set new standards and deliver results at scale. Most recently, he served as LifeSpeak's Chief Operating Officer, and previously spent more than a decade at Wellbeats, where he served as Senior Vice President of Operations and scaled the company significantly, leading to its acquisition by LifeSpeak in 2022.

"LifeSpeak is at a pivotal moment in our journey, and I'm honored to lead us into the next phase of growth," said Campana. "Our mission is simple but powerful: to make preventive wellbeing accessible to everyone. We partner with organizations to help their employees take a proactive approach to health, offering expert resources and personalized guidance that empower people to take charge and thrive at work and in life. Now as a private company with fresh investment, we are poised to reach our goal of expanding to 20 million users by 2027 while driving measurable outcomes for our partners and customers."

Campana succeeds founder Michael Held, who founded LifeSpeak in 2004 and will remain a board member and chair of the company's advisory board.

"This is the right moment for Jason to take the helm, and I couldn't be more thrilled for him," said Held. "His strategic vision and deep understanding of our market will ensure LifeSpeak delivers even greater value to our partners, customers and employees."

LifeSpeak combines advanced AI and digital capabilities with decades of expertise from health and wellness professionals to deliver thousands of expert-led resources, coaching tools and personalized guidance across mental health, physical health, caregiving, substance use and more.

Unlike clinical tools or narrow point solutions, LifeSpeak is built for early intervention and lasting behavior change. A recent LifeSpeak study found that 97% of members say LifeSpeak helps them manage stress and avoid burnout. Research shows burnout costs employers an average of $4,000 to $21,000 per employee per year. For a 1,000-person company, that adds up to about $5 million in lost productivity annually –– so even a modest 10% reduction equals $500,000 in annual savings.

The study also found that 90.5% of LifeSpeak users report fewer doctor or therapist visits. With average visits ranging from $100–$250, avoiding even one visit per employee translates into $100K–$250K saved annually in a 1,000-person company.

"LifeSpeak isn't just another wellness app — it's a preventative health powerhouse improving outcomes for millions and reducing healthcare costs for employers," Campana added. "I've never been more excited about our opportunity to grow and redefine wellbeing across industries, and I'm looking forward to working alongside our employees, partners, customers and investors to make this vision a reality."
