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.
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.
