Christine Henningsgaard
CEO & Co-Founder | Quilted Health
Christine is the CEO and co-founder of Quilted Health, an organization building a new maternity care model backed in evidence, centered in communities, and supported with technology to improve outcomes and reduce disparities in maternal health. Prior to Quilted, Christine was at Amazon, where she was responsible for identifying, developing, and launching new healthcare products and businesses. Most notably, she was a founding team member of Amazon Care – Amazon’s first consumer-facing healthcare service that combined high-tech virtual care and high-touch home care, from concept to launch. Christine spent 15 years as a senior operations executive in healthcare organizations ranging from Series A start-ups to public companies. She was Chief Operating Officer at Hometeam, a VC-backed home care services provider, and served as Head of Operations at One Medical Group, where she led the teams responsible for all marketbased P&Ls, expansion of service offerings, organizational leadership and design, and revenue operations. In the early part of her career, Christine held increasingly senior roles focused in revenue cycle operations, gaining a deep understanding of the payer-provider dynamics and economic drivers in healthcare. She was a Vice President at Accretive Health, a business process outsourcing company. She started her career at Stockamp & Associates, working predominantly with non-profit and academic health systems across risk assessment, organizational design, technology, and workflow implementation. Christine earned a Bachelor’s degree from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and lives in Seattle with her husband and two young boys. They all stay active and are constantly on an adventure, near or far, to find new spots with crabs, skate parks, beaches, and fresh snow.
