TEMECULA, Calif., March 28, 2023 – Raintree Systems, a leading provider of electronic health
records (EHR) including patient engagement, scheduling, billing, and practice management, in
addition to revenue cycle management (RCM) software solutions for the therapy and rehab
industry, today announced it has filled two critical executive leadership positions as the
company continues to grow. Vu Nguyen has been named new chief product officer (CPO), while
Scott Rongo has been promoted from executive vice president (EVP) of sales to chief revenue
officer (CRO).
Vu Nguyen
In his role as Raintree’s CPO, Nguyen leads the vision, strategy, roadmap and commercialization
of the company’s product suite. Nguyen has been a product leader for over a decade, with
more than 16 years of experience in healthcare IT and more than 20 years in SaaS software.
Prior to joining Raintree, Nguyen was SVP at bar review course provider BARBRI Global, where
he created a high-functioning product organization that drove the commercialization of all
BARBRI products while instilling best practices.
Nguyen also previously held several leadership positions at Cerner Corp., including as director
of product management and enterprise document management, and more than eight years at
Siemens Healthcare, where he served as a product software analyst and product manager. He
holds a bachelor’s degree and master’s degree in computer engineering from Villanova
University.
“Vu was responsible for the business and product strategy of one of Cerner’s most profitable
portfolios,” said Nick Hedges, CEO, Raintree. “His proven track record of delivering high-value
products to customers that surpass revenue goals and his commitment to employee
development and mentoring will fuel Raintree’s business growth.”
Scott Rongo
In Rongo’s expanded role as CRO he will focus on further building the sales and partnership
infrastructure to support the company’s anticipated growth over the coming years. Rongo
joined Raintree as EVP of sales in March 2022 and since that time has significantly enhanced
Raintree’s go-to-market capabilities achieving 158% new sales growth over that time period.
Previous to Raintree Rongo spent nearly five years at eMDs, where he helped increase annual
revenue from $30 million to just under $100 million. In December of 2020, Rongo was a key
part of the leadership team that helped divest the business to CompuGroup Medical, where he
served as the chief growth officer for the U.S. operation.
Rongo also has held senior leadership positions at Active Network and McKesson. He received a
bachelor’s degree in marketing and management from the Kelley School of Business at Indiana
University and an executive MBA from the Mendoza College of Business at The University of
Notre Dame.
“Since Scott joined Raintree a year ago, he has demonstrated a superior ability to manage
complex sales processes and sales teams,” said Hedges. “His strength in building relationships,
assessing needs, and providing exemplary customer service through effective listening is critical
to driving growth through a focus on customer value.”
