The announcement comes at an inflection point for the industry. Outpatient spine is growing at 15.7% annually while the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is expected to remove 285 musculoskeletal codes from the inpatient-only list, accelerating a broad shift of complex procedures out of hospitals and into ambulatory settings, according to the release.

“TriasMD’s new executive leadership team is well positioned to seize this opportunity, setting the standards for complex outpatient spine and total joint replacement through Disc’s centers of excellence,” said TriasMD and Disc founder Robert S. Bray Jr., MD, in the release. “I’m excited to see this team advance our mission of delivering safer, more efficient, patient-centered surgical care.”

Lee Levanduski joins TriasMD as CEO. He brings more than 30 years of experience spanning clinical practice and healthcare leadership, with a focus on building high-performing physician organizations and scaling ambulatory surgical networks, according to the release. He also is an operating partner with Chicago Pacific Founders, for which TriasMD is a portfolio company.

“We’re building something that hasn’t existed before: a physician-first, physician-led network where surgeons have access to cutting-edge technology and world-class facilities, all within a setting designed around the physician and the patient, not the system,” Levanduski said in the release. “Our partnerships with industry innovators reflect that commitment, giving our physicians the tools to practice at the highest level while advancing the field. There is a sustained push across healthcare to move procedures from the highest-cost settings to the most appropriate and cost-effective sites of care. That is exactly the model we have built, and we are now ready to scale it.”

Andrew Nice joins as chief operating officer, bringing experience in healthcare operations and strategy, with a focus on scaling physician-aligned platforms, improving operating performance and driving sustainable growth, according to the release. Most recently, Nice served as a regional vice president of operations for United Surgical Partners International, where he oversaw a multisite ambulatory surgery portfolio in Northern California.

“I am incredibly honored to join TriasMD at such a pivotal moment in its growth trajectory,” Nice said in the release. “As patients and payers continue to prioritize high-value sites of care, Disc Surgery Centers exemplify how complex, specialized procedures can be delivered with greater efficiency and a more personalized approach. I view Disc not only as a leader in spine and musculoskeletal care, but as a driving force shaping the future of the industry.”

Mike Lembo joins as chief financial officer, bringing more than a decade of progressive leadership experience across private equity-backed healthcare platforms, multisite operational finance, and Big Four audit and advisory, according to the release. Before TriasMD, he served as chief financial officer of a multistate cardiovascular surgery center network, where he oversaw finance, accounting and strategic planning during a period of platform expansion.

Anthony Todaro joins as vice president of marketing, bringing more than 35 years of leadership experience across healthcare and consumer markets, according to the release. Throughout his award-winning career, he has led transformative growth initiatives through strategic brand development, digital innovation, customer engagement and market expansion.

Rachel Jensen joins as vice president of supply chain and procurement, tapping her proven track record of driving operational excellence and enterprise value across complex, multisite, high-growth organizations, according to the release. She has led and executed end-to-end supply chain strategies across urgent care, medical aesthetics, veterinary and retail sectors, building scalable infrastructure to support rapid expansion.

Joey Dambroso joins as controller, bringing more than 15 years of experience across public and private companies spanning healthcare, biotechnology, technology and logistics, according to the release. He has held finance and accounting leadership roles at Amazon, 4D Molecular Therapeutics, and Lineage, following early career experience in auditing at Ernst & Young and PricewaterhouseCoopers.

“We built this leadership team to accelerate where the company is headed,” Bray said in the release. “The Disc model has proven its value, and with this level of executive leadership, we are positioned to scale with precision, expand into new markets and set a higher standard for musculoskeletal care.”

TriasMD’s new appointees join Bray and current executive leadership team members Michael Bailey, vice president of development, Beverly Kirchner, vice president of compliance, and Catherine Ruppe, vice president of ASC operations, according to the release. Read all their bios on the TriasMD website.
