Marty Bonick

Founder, Thryve Ventures

Marty Bonick is a former public-company CEO and healthcare operator with nearly three decades of experience leading organizations through transformation, growth, and value creation — across public, private equity–backed, and physician-led healthcare enterprises. His career spans operational turnarounds, private-equity value creation, public-company leadership, capital markets, and board governance.

Most recently, Marty led the transformation of a private equity–backed health system into a publicly traded company through its initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange. Across his career he has driven operating turnarounds, integrated complex acquisitions, scaled physician platforms through buy-and-build M&A, and co-launched a healthcare innovation studio that incubated and exited technology ventures — bringing perspective from both sides of the boardroom, as a sitting CEO and an independent director.

He has been named to Modern Healthcare’s “100 Most Influential People in Healthcare” (2023, 2024, 2025), is a Fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives (FACHE), and a Nashville Health Care Council Fellow.

Why Thryve

Three decades of operating inside healthcare taught Marty what it takes to build something that lasts. Thryve is where he puts that to work — backing, building, and advising the companies shaping what comes next.
