North Kingstown Resident Named CEO of Health Care Startup

As Company Grows MOCingbird Names CEO

An Experienced Business Leader with Navy Background, Brad Artery, MBA Takes Helm

Rhode Island based startup, MOCingbird, announced today that Brad Artery, MBA has been named Chief Executive Officer of the growing company which provides an online platform for healthcare professionals to monitor certification and educational requirements. The system allows providers and administrators to track and store MOCs, CMEs and state licenses in its secure vault, ensuring they stay up-to-date and compliant. The platform is overseen by My MOC, Inc., which was founded by Dr. Ian Madom, an orthopedic spine surgeon, and Dr. George Fernaine, interventional cardiologist.

As CEO of My MOC, Artery is responsible for building the team and business to simplify maintenance of certification (MOC) for healthcare professionals, leveraging the mocingbird.com platform. Artery began his career as a submarine officer in the United States Navy, doing tours on two Los Angeles class fast attack submarines. He leveraged this leadership experience at Citizens Bank, spending over 10 years running the Procurement function (as Chief Procurement Officer) and as Head of Operations for various Consumer Lending businesses. Most recently, Artery was COO of Launch Franchising.

“This is a great opportunity for me to combine my diverse experiences across multiple industries”, explained Artery. “I’ve always wanted to venture into healthcare, and this is the perfect opportunity for me to make a positive difference for healthcare providers.”

“Brad is a great compliment to our team,“ explained Dr. Madom, co-founder and previous CEO. “We talked about bringing in an experienced healthcare executive, but ultimately decided against it. George (Fernaine, co-founder) and I know healthcare, so we strongly believe an innovator and experienced leader from outside healthcare will make the collective team stronger. We have every confidence that Brad will take our company to the next level.”

Artery currently resides in North Kingstown, RI with his family. He earned his MBA from Boston University School of Management. In his free time Artery volunteers in the community by serving on a local youth financial literacy board and teaches business school classes at Providence and Rhode Island Colleges.

“It is an exciting time to be part of a groundbreaking company here in New England”, commented Artery. “Through positive disruption in the MOC and CME space, we have the opportunity to better the lives of healthcare providers and their families across the U.S.”
