  • GoodRx announced recently that it appointed Jody Mulkey as Chief Technology Officer

GoodRx, the leading marketplace for affordable and convenient healthcare, announced it has appointed Jody Mulkey as Chief Technology Officer. Mulkey has more than 20 years of experience leading tech teams at Aspiration, Shopzilla, and Ticketmaster. And as CTO, Mulkey will oversee GoodRx’s engineering, data, and technical product management teams.

“As we continue to develop new ways to help Americans afford and understand their healthcare, our platform must be able to keep pace with our continued rate of innovation,” said GoodRx co-CEO and co-founder Doug Hirsch. “Jody’s experience scaling technology platforms for consumer marketplaces will allow us to quickly amplify growth and further our mission of reducing healthcare costs for all Americans.”

Mulkey is known for building high-performance systems and teams. And most recently, Mulkey was Chief Product Officer at online financial firm Aspiration — which had doubled its customer base and quadrupled in revenue during his tenure. Plus Mulkey also spent five years as CTO of Ticketmaster where he led its technology and cultural transformation. And prior to Ticketmaster, Mulkey spent 14 years at online marketplace Shopzilla (now Connexity), which has a global audience of more than 40 million shoppers monthly.

Mulkey’s appointment comes as GoodRx works to support significant business growth as it expands its offerings and services. Recently, the company recently launched GoodRx Care, an online medical service that connects patients to physicians.

And last month, GoodRx announced it has provided Americans with more than $15 billion in healthcare savings since its founding and now helps save Americans more than $20 million every day through its mobile apps, website, and discount cards.

There are more than 12 million consumers using GoodRx every month to find current prices and discounts for their medications. And since 2011, Americans with and without health insurance have saved more than $15 billion using GoodRx — which is more than $5 billion in 2019 alone.

“I feel fortunate to join a company with such a compelling mission and look forward to helping build out GoodRx’s technology platform as the company continues its trajectory of hyper-growth,” added Mulkey. “With millions of Americans struggling to afford rising healthcare costs, GoodRx is in a unique position to not only help consumers save money but also to empower them to make informed decisions about their healthcare.”
