You:Flourish Sets the Stage for Growth with Announcement of New CEO
09 Julio 2024 - 10:15AM
You:Flourish a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) and digital
wellness company announces the appointment of Sean Patrick
Harrington (he/him) as co-founder and Chief Executive Officer.
Harrington joins You:Flourish to lead their national launch and
acceleration of the company’s proprietary technology. You:Flourish
is the first tech product developed by LGBTQ+ founders for LGBTQ+
providers and subscribers.
Research demonstrates, “99% of LGBTQ+ respondents said
they would use a vetted resource directory to find a
mental health provider,” stated Steven Haden (he/him), company
founder and Chief Strategy Officer. You:Flourish prioritizes our
LGBTQ+ populations as the global mental health and human wellness
crisis accelerates.
Harrington’s experience with large-scale strategic initiatives
is crucial as the company continues their significant investments
in computing, machine learning, generative AI adoption, and
privacy.
“We appointed Sean because of his vision, executive leadership,
and instinct for indelible and meaningful partnerships,” said
Haden. “I would like to congratulate Sean as he appreciates the
urgency to build our organization, consider our next priced round,
further our company IP, and rapidly expand You:Flourish to all
corners of the United States.”
Harrington’s appointment will, in part, guide the company as it
applies insights from its MVP launch in Colorado earlier this year.
He steps into his new role with a history of market insight,
innovation, and talent for bridging the gap between the business
and health sectors. Having served as founder, CEO, CBO, and
managing partner at three thriving startup companies, Harrington
brings a multifaceted set of skills to You:Flourish that includes
marketing strategy, market analysis, mergers and acquisitions, and
capital raise.
“I am grateful to Steven and the You:Flourish board of directors
for entrusting me with the responsibility to lead our You:Flourish
enterprise through the next phase of growth,” Harrington said. “As
a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) our mission is to save LGBTQ+
lives and drive strong business growth. Our R&D and tech stack
rollout ensures inclusivity and empowers individuals to prioritize
their mental health and wellness to flourish in their daily
lives.”
Access to reliable, affirming resources to support LGBTQ+ mental
health and wellbeing is vital. More than half of LGBTQ+ adults live
with a mental health or substance use disorder. LGBTQ+ individuals
are also three times more likely to have anxiety, depression, and
suicidal thoughts, according to the National Survey on Drug Use and
Health, SAMHSA.
