New consumer product director joins Andover’s SimplyHealth
Andover-based health solutions provider SimplyHealth has appointed Tina Kennedy to the position of product director of its consumer business.
Tina, who will report to the firm’s chief product and commercial officer, Katie Wadey, will be charged with managing the profit and loss of the company’s consumer division in a newly created role.
The appointment follows that of Annie Coleridge to corporate product director last month.
Tina, who originally started her career in fast-moving consumer goods, brings experience across data driven digital transformation, sales and marketing and P&L management. Her CV features commercial leadership roles at big name firms including Experian and Vodafone.

She joins SimplyHealth from social housing software provider Aareon, where she held the role of Product Director.
Katie Wadey, chief product and commercial officer, said: “Tina’s appointment completes the recruitment of our product directors, an important step on journey to becoming a product-led healthcare solutions provider.
“Alongside recent hires Annie Coleridge and Quentin James, I’m confident we now have the right team of product leaders to drive the business forward and develop much needed solutions to help more people access the everyday healthcare services they are increasingly struggling to get from the over stretched NHS.”
Tina Kennedy said: “With the demand for healthcare services outstripping NHS capacity we are seeing a real shift in attitudes towards private provision. Simplyhealth is ideally placed to help people with affordable and accessible outpatient care such as dentistry, ophthalmology, dermatology, and physiotherapy.”
