Waystar Adds Google and 3M Veterans to Board of Directors

Waystar Strengthens Board with Healthcare and Tech Powerhouses

Waystar Holding Corp., a leading healthcare payment software provider, has appointed two high-profile executives to its Board of Directors: Aashima Gupta, Global Director of Healthcare Strategy at Google Cloud, and Michael Roman, former Chairman and CEO of 3M.

The appointments come as Waystar continues expanding its impact across the healthcare ecosystem. The company processes over $1.8 trillion in annual gross claims, serving 30,000 clients and over 1 million providers, including 16 of the top 20 hospitals ranked by U.S. News.

“They bring distinguished experience and expertise at the intersection of innovation, healthcare, and enterprise leadership,” said Matt Hawkins, CEO of Waystar. “Their perspectives will help guide our growth as we simplify healthcare payments.”

Board Brings Firepower in AI, Healthcare, and Global Operations

Aashima Gupta brings cutting-edge expertise in healthcare AI and cloud transformation. At Google Cloud, she has led efforts to integrate AI and data analytics to improve healthcare delivery. She also sits on the boards of Neogen, Mölnlycke Health Care, and the HIMSS Global Health Advisory Board.

Named one of Modern Healthcare’s Top 10 Executives to Watch in 2024, Gupta is widely recognized for her role in scaling digital health solutions.

Michael Roman, with nearly four decades at 3M—including as CEO—offers deep operational leadership from a $32 billion global enterprise. With one-quarter of 3M’s revenue historically tied to healthcare, Roman brings crucial insight into healthcare market dynamics. He also serves on the board of Abbott Laboratories.

A Strategic Move to Reinforce Innovation in Healthcare Payments

Waystar’s board expansion signals a clear focus on innovation, scale, and regulatory alignment in healthcare payments. With Gupta’s background in AI and Roman’s legacy in industrial healthcare strategy, the company is positioning itself to address ongoing industry complexity with technology-first leadership.

As healthcare providers continue navigating rising costs and administrative burdens, Waystar aims to ease financial workflows and enhance outcomes through enterprise-grade payment solutions.
