Houston, TX, December 17, 2018 – Vivante Health, the digestive health and disease experts and creators of the GIThrive all-in-one digital program for gut health and disease, announced today the hiring of Robb Folser as Regional Vice President of Commerce, Midwest US. Folser is responsible for establishing strong relationships, sales and strategic growth throughout the region within the self-funded employer market and the regional consultant/broker space.

Prior to joining Vivante, Mr. Folser served as the Regional VP of Partnerships with Cognoa, Inc., responsible for developing, leading and executing strategic partnerships and new client acquisitions. His primary emphasis was working with both enterprise clients and consultant channels to provide employee benefit programs.
