MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Nov. 22, 2021 ‚– Lark Health today announced it has appointed Christian Ricciardiello as General Counsel and Iveta Brigis as Vice President of Human Resources.

Christian joins Lark with deep experience establishing and leading in-house legal teams and advising executive leadership across the healthcare space.

"I am excited to join the Lark team,‚" said Ricciardiello. "The pace of Lark's growth shows that the company is meeting an important need in the healthcare space, and I look forward to advising the company as it continues working to provide personalized care for those living with, or at-risk for developing, chronic conditions.‚"

Iveta Brigis is a data-driven HR leader with an impressive track record building high-performing teams in fast-growth environments. After over a decade at Google, Iveta is excited to bring her experience designing innovative and human-centered HR programs to Lark.
