Justin Lambert will lead the company through

funds from investors
Nomad Health, the leading digital marketplace for healthcare
jobs, today announced it has raised $22 million in a round led by
HealthQuest Capital. Other investors include Adams Street, Icon
Ventures, Polaris Partners, .406 Ventures, and RRE Ventures. In
addition, the company has appointed Justin Lambert as chief
executive officer (CEO). Co-founder and former CEO, Alexi Gharib
Nazem, MD, will remain on the Nomad Health Board of Directors.
The investment led by HealthQuest Capital will enable Nomad to
expand its product portfolio and meet the continued demand for its
staffing-enabling technology that puts clinicians where they are
needed most - the patient’s bedside - faster. HealthQuest is a
growth capital firm focused on innovative healthcare companies.
“Nomad pioneered the data-driven temporary healthcare staffing
market when it launched the first online marketplace for travel
clinicians. The demand is strong for the company’s technology, data
insight capabilities, and clinicians which presents tremendous
opportunity,” said Garheng Kong, MD, founder and managing partner
of HealthQuest Capital.
Before becoming CEO, Lambert was president and chief operating
officer (COO) of Nomad Health, overseeing operations, marketing,
and client services. He will guide the company through its next
phase of innovation. Justine Lelchuk, senior vice president,
operations has been appointed as COO. Prior to joining Nomad in
2021, she was a managing director at Deloitte Consulting.
“For nearly a decade, Nomad has been spearheading the next
generation of healthcare staffing with the introduction of new
technology and unprecedented promises of transparency and
efficiency. The company’s demonstrated ability to consistently
deliver for clinicians and clients has earned it the right to keep
innovating and pushing the industry forward,” said Lambert. “I am
grateful and excited to be appointed CEO by our board and to have
the opportunity to help Nomad bring its novel approach and leading
technology to more people in more ways.”
Nazem will join the company’s Board of Directors. He served as
CEO since founding Nomad in 2015 and led the company through rapid
growth fueled by immense demand for its pioneering healthcare
staffing platform and jobs marketplace. Under Nazem’s leadership,
Nomad enabled thousands of healthcare facilities in all 50 states
to connect with more than 300,000 highly qualified travel nurses
and allied health professionals to fill critical roles at a 94%
on-time start rate.
“We founded Nomad in 2015 to bring innovation to the large but
antiquated healthcare staffing market. In the last nine years,
Nomad has led the industry through a technology transformation and
set new standards for service, transparency, and experience for
clinicians and clients alike,” said Nazem. “As Nomad continues to
pioneer important new frontiers in healthcare workforce management,
I am enthusiastic for Justin to take Nomad to the next level.”
