Melanie Marcus

Melanie joined Surescripts as Chief Marketing Officer in 2017, bringing with her more than 20 years of experience working at the intersection of marketing, technology, and healthcare. Based in the Arlington, Virginia, office, she loves serving as “chief storyteller,” helping people understand how technology unites the fragmented healthcare system. And she’s passionate about how they serve the nation through simpler, trusted health intelligence sharing, in order to increase patient safety, lower costs and ensure quality care.

After earning her MBA from Boston University, she built her career at McKesson Health Solutions, taking on progressively pivotal roles focused on marketplace positioning of solutions, and developing successful action plans to reach customers. As Vice President of Strategic Marketing, she led marketing for one of McKesson’s largest technology units, championing its role in thought leadership, content marketing and social media. Before that, she gained considerable industry knowledge through key roles in strategic planning and marketing for Sutter Health in Sacramento, California, and Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Melanie enjoys traveling whenever she can. One of her most memorable trips was to Israel which she describes as the most awe-inspiring trip of her life.
