Chris Brunson
Founder & CEO
Chris Brunson is an entrepreneur with over 20 years experience. Chris has owned and operated multiple successful businesses. His most successful ventures were based on the creative use of CRM (Customer Relationship Management) technology and supporting business processes.
While discussing the dynamics of CRM technology with several physicians in early 2008, Chris realized the healthcare industry was not using CRM technology to manage patient communication even though patient engagement is one of healthcare’s highest priorities. Soon after, Chris began the development of a PRM (Patient Relationship Management) platform that he would use to support what is today called a PEC (Patient Engagement Center).
On the success of his first PEC in early 2009, Chris began to put together a team of investors and senior managers to create a new technology company around this concept. With the support and funding of the South Carolina Research Authority (SCRA) and its subsidiary SC Launch, PEC360 was launched in 2010.
Under Chris’ leadership, PEC360 and its Patient Engagement Centers are supporting healthcare organizations in their population management strategy and changing the way physicians, care teams and patients interact.
