$EMOR: Healixa Inc. Appoints Jessica Muzquiz to Advisory Board
Holbrook, New York, March 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Emerald Organic Products Inc. (d/b/a Healixa Inc.) (OTC: EMOR) (the “Company”, "EMOR", “Healixa”), a people-first digital organization that humanizes care by deploying simplified solutions for complex global challenges, today announces that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) appointed Jessica Muzquiz to its Advisory Board, effective immediately. This announcement closely follows the Company’s March 8, 2021 announcement regarding the appointment of Rep. Denver Riggleman to its Advisory Board.
Muzquiz was a natural choice to lead the charge in advising the Company’s pharmacy acquisitions, pharmacy operations, and solutions development. Her extensive leadership experience with Fortune 500 companies as well as her accomplished career in the United States military is best-in-class. Through working with Frazier Healthcare to her instrumental role within the BriovaRx, Catamaran acquisition by Optum for 12.8 billion, her contribution to the healthcare, health tech, and logistic sectors are both unique and noteworthy.
Muzquiz served as Vice President - Human Capital Partner at UnitedHealth Group Inc., following the acquisition of Catamaran Corp. by OptumRx, a division of UnitedHealth Group. Previously, Muzquiz served in executive leadership roles at Supreme Group and the United States Postal Service. Muzquiz began her career in the United States Army, where she was decorated two times with the Army Achievement Medal, and decorated three times with the Army Commendation Medal. Muzquiz holds her Bachelor of Science and MBA from Waynesburg University.
"Jessica's background in complex and regulated logistics fascinated me from the start. She grew Supreme Group’s workforce from 5 to over 2,000 employees in six months and then duplicated that growth management a few years later in the specialty pharmacy space with Catamaran, OptumRx, and beyond. Her forward-thinking mind and ability to execute at large scale are commendable. On behalf of the entire Board, we are eager to realize Jessica’s proven organizational impact. We are excited to see what our futures hold together," says CEO Ian Parker.
“I’m excited to be joining the Company during a period of tremendous growth,” commented Jessica Muzquiz. “I look forward to applying my skills and experience in leading transformation at an organization committed to serving the needs of their customers in such an innovative way.”
