Mike Gaffney, Managing Director at EDG and Chairman of PWN during EDG’s ownership said, “The PWN Health story began in mid-2015 when we partnered with Sanjay Pingle, PWN Health’s CEO to purchase the small employer testing and consumer testing support business from Medivo, a venture backed analytics company.  The transaction provided Medivo non-dilutive liquidity and launched PWN Health.  Over the course of five years, we supported the buildout of a full management team, the expansion of the business and development of genetic testing and life sciences market leveraging the PWN’s capabilities. EDG’s value included assembling a top-tier board, recruiting talented management team members, shaping the strategy of the business, supporting M&A and introducing the company to potential clients and partners. We wish the company and its new owners well and look forward to cheering on their continued success.”

Sanjay Pingle, CEO of PWN Health remarked,  “I would like to extend my thanks to Mike Gaffney and the EDG team for the strong partnership that we enjoyed over the past five years.
