Addison Hoover An entrepreneur, cultural leader, business development leader, and high-growth operator, I've worked on transformational initiatives spanning healthcare, banking, retail, hospitality, and travel, with 2 career exits. I helped launch Docent Health as employee #3, growing the business from pre-revenue to $7M ARR and a mid-eight-figure acquisition by Get Well in 2021. Most recently, I helped position PG Forsta / Press Ganey for its $6.75B acquisition by Qualtrics in May 2026. By leveraging expertise in sales and marketing, product and service design, user research, and consumer experience megatrends, I've been highly effective at driving growth and transformational change. Lately, I've been investing time building AI-native tools, including Claude Code/Cowork, computer vision (YOLO, PaddleOCR, Tesseract), and UI/UX tools (Lovable, Replit), applying design instincts to a new generation of software. ► Specialties: Two-Time Exit Operator | AI-Native Builder | Early-Stage Startup Development | Venture Capital Fundraising | Commercial Sales | Solution Branding & Marketing | Consumer Experience & Design | Early-Stage Hiring & Culture Development | Executive Communications | Multi-Industry M
