Frazier Healthcare Partners, a leading provider of growth capital to healthcare companies, announced today that Anthony Draye has joined the firm as an Executive Partner on the Growth Buyout team. Mr. Draye, an IT leader who has spent the last 10 years helping healthcare companies set and execute IT strategy, will work with Frazier Growth Buyout portfolio companies to navigate the complex world of healthcare IT.

“We are delighted to have Anthony join our team of experienced Executive Partners who work directly with our portfolio companies to help them build their infrastructure to keep pace with high levels of growth and the increasing complexity of being a leading healthcare company in today’s fast changing world,” said Alan Frazier, Founder & Chairman at Frazier Healthcare Partners.

Most recently, Mr. Draye was Director of Applications for TridentUSA Health Services, a national provider of laboratory and mobile radiology services. At TridentUSA he leveraged his extensive experience with lab, radiology, and billing systems to create an IT platform that helped drive clinical excellence and facilitated the efficient on-boarding of many regional acquisitions. Mr. Draye also served as Vice President for Information Technology at Diagnostic Radiology and Oncology Services, a consultancy providing radiology, oncology, and surgery centers with solutions for strategic planning, business development, operations management, and acquisition due diligence. He assisted large and small healthcare companies with IT architecture, large clinical and billing system implementations, work flow process optimization, and IT governance. Before working in the healthcare industry, Mr. Draye led software development projects in telecommunications and worked in the research and development group at The Boeing Company.

"I encountered the Frazier team shortly after I began working in healthcare. Our paths crossed on a number of occasions, and each time I was impressed by the integrity and humility that they exhibited when working with the management teams of their portfolio companies," said Mr. Draye. "So, when I considered the Executive Partner opportunity at Frazier Healthcare Partners I knew I was joining a great team with a track record of success."
