The industry-leading network and unmatched data quality of TriNetX uniquely position the company for global expansion and further enrichment of data assets, providing actionable insights to various stakeholders in healthcare. I am honored to lead TriNetX, The Global Truth Engine for Better Human Health™, and to drive forward the mission that defines us."

Jeff Margolis, the interim CEO and current Chairman, will resume his role as Chairman of TriNetX following the leadership transition. Margolis emphasized Calhoun's suitability for the role, saying, "August is precisely the leader that TriNetX needs during this stage of its evolution.

Adding to the excitement, Joe Bress, a partner and global co-head of healthcare at Carlyle, TriNetX's leading investor, shared his thoughts on the new appointment. “We are pleased to welcome August as the permanent CEO of TriNetX. We also extend our gratitude to Jeff for his exceptional leadership during the interim period, which included significant achievements for the organization—a strategic collaboration and investment with Regeneron, acquiring assets from Zetta Genomics, and expanding their `LIVE` network to over 300 million patients.”
