New CEO puts customer partnership at the center of Sunwave's growth strategy.

Sunwave, a leading provider of modern software solutions for behavioral health and substance use organizations, today announced the appointment of Corey Hansen as Chief Executive Officer and the launch of Crest, the company’s customer advisory board.

Hansen brings two decades of experience building and scaling technology companies. He most recently served as CEO of Lumistry, a private equity-backed healthcare technology company, where he led four acquisitions and grew annual recurring revenue past $40 million. His earlier career encompassed various roles in product management, sales, strategy consulting, and analytics.

“Our mission is clear: to provide behavioral healthcare providers with leading-edge solutions that enable them to deliver life-giving and redeeming treatments and therapies to people seeking to live more fulfilling lives,” said Hansen. “We created Crest to learn from the best-in-class clinicians whose work we aspire to make more impactful, with the goal of delivering solutions that fulfill our mission.”

Crest brings together executive, clinical, and operational leaders from nine behavioral health organizations across the country to advise Sunwave on product direction. The board convened its inaugural summit in Nashville, where members worked directly with Sunwave leadership on clinical workflows, the patient journey, revenue cycle management, and AI priorities. That input now informs Sunwave’s product roadmap and Hansen’s near-term plan.

"Nothing irks us more than someone who has never worked in a treatment center telling us how one should run with technology," said Nick Hayes, PhD, Chief Science Officer, Cumberland Heights, one of the nation's oldest nonprofit addiction treatment providers. "Crest flips that. Sunwave brought us to the table to learn how we actually work, and Corey was in the room asking questions, not giving answers. That is the right way to build for this field."

Sunwave serves treatment organizations nationwide with a unified platform for admissions, clinical documentation, billing, and alumni engagement, supporting the company’s mission of helping providers redeem lives.
