Team

  • Founder, CEO

    Ron was a managing director at Barclays when his 25-year career was cut short in 2011 by a sleepy driver who crashed head on into his bicycle. Ron's new life as a paraplegic literally threw him into the dysfunctional, expensive, and confusing home care market. Seeing first hand the challenges faced by 60 million Americans needing home care and using his Ivy League training, Ron designed the type of service he wanted with overwhelming results.

  • Betsy Gold
    Co-Founder, Chief Customer Officer

    In the wake of her husband's accident, Betsy was thrust into the role of care manager, care advocate, and caregiver. She embraced that role becoming a home care expert. The high standards she developed and used to screen Ron's caregivers have become the bedrock for how LeanOnWe screens its caregivers. Betsy leads the Care Advisor Team that supports our customers. Before LeanOnWe, Betsy was an award-winning journalist and business editor.

  • Denise Kuhbier
    Senior Vice President of Care

At LeanOnWe, she applies her in-depth knowledge to support the Care Advisors who help customers and she is responsible for overseeing the caregiver network. Denise's insight about the pitfalls of the industry were pivotal to helping LeanOnWe design a better model.
