As the business line leader for Explorer, Ryan Padilla oversees the strategic direction and growth of the Explorer digital case support platform, including the operational, commercial, product and marketing teams with P/L responsibility. He brings more than 20 years of management experience, having held several senior leadership roles in general management, operations and management consulting. 

With the emergence of a new frontier of innovative digital health technologies, like Explorer, Padilla’s focus is to democratize access to physician expertise, help neutralize procedural variability, and accelerate commercial performance for medical device companies. 
  
Padilla joined GHX in 2016 to lead the integration of ePay healthcare payment process solutions. He subsequently supported the ePay business through an important growth phase, helping mature key business operations across finance, strategy and commercial functions. 

In 2018, Padilla transitioned into a newly formed opportunity as GHX executive director of Strategic Transformation and Enterprise Planning, where he established a global results management practice leveraging the OKR methodology to improve organizational alignment and execution. His efforts were instrumental in helping GHX achieve strong, consecutive growth results. 

With GHX’s announcement of the Explorer acquisition in late 2021, Padilla assumed responsibility as integration leader for the business before moving into his current role. 

Padilla is a graduate of the Impact Denver Leadership Development Program and holds a bachelor’s degree in History from Dartmouth College.
