Gwen Cantarera Takes Charge of Marketing at Pivot Point Consulting

On October 1, 2026, Pivot Point Consulting, renowned for its excellence in KLAS healthcare IT consulting, announced the appointment of Gwen Cantarera as its new Head of Marketing. In an era where healthcare technology is rapidly evolving, Cantarera's leadership comes at a crucial time, especially as the firm aims to expand its influence not only within the U.S. market but also into international territories.

Gwen Cantarera brings a wealth of expertise to her role, with a career steeped in healthcare IT and a proven track record in marketing strategy. As the Head of Marketing, she will spearhead initiatives designed to strengthen Pivot Point's market presence and connect clients with the essential solutions they seek. Her vision is clear: to enhance client engagements in a way that makes healthcare technology simpler and more effective for professionals in the field.

"Gwen embodies a rare blend of comprehensive knowledge in healthcare IT and marketing skills that drive growth," stated Michelle Lichte, Chief Growth Officer. This synergy is critical in today's healthcare landscape, where providers face increasing pressure—whether it be from clinician workloads or the complex demands placed on healthcare teams. The technology should alleviate these burdens, not compound them.

Cantarera's extensive experience, which spans over two decades across North America and Europe, aligns perfectly with her new responsibilities. She has previously held significant roles in developing global marketing strategies for extensive portfolios of consulting services, addressing the unique challenges faced by healthcare technology leaders. For her, the focus goes beyond mere marketing; it’s about translating complex technology issues and solutions into clear, actionable strategies that resonate with the market.

“I'm excited about leveraging the deep expertise within Pivot Point,” Cantarera expressed. “We have a repository of knowledge—from people who've grappled with and solved intricate challenges—who fundamentally understand what it takes for technology to serve healthcare organizations effectively. I aim to elevate those insights, showcasing client successes and lessons learned that can help healthcare leaders navigate their own challenges.”

In this capacity, Cantarera will collaborate closely with Pivot Point's leadership team to align marketing strategies with the firm's comprehensive growth objectives. Marc Hirshfield, Chief Delivery Officer, expressed confidence in Cantarera's potential impact, having witnessed her capabilities first-hand throughout their careers. "Gwen has an innate ability to cultivate relationships and draw on her extensive experience, which is instrumental in shaping the next chapter for Pivot Point. Success hinges on understanding our clients and anticipating their needs to deliver sustained value. I look forward to working with her once again," Hirshfield noted.

Cantarera's overarching goal? To ensure that when technology functions seamlessly, its presence goes unnoticed—a notion at the heart of patient-centered care.
