Burley Wright has over 20 years of entrepreneurial experience in healthcare. He has focused on general operations planning and execution, sales and customer service, fiscal management, billing practices, staff management, nonprofit organizations, and is a leader in state and federal healthcare and OSHA compliance. Burley founded his first company at 23. As its CEO he maintained growth, development and educational opportunities for over 100 employees in a “high turnover rate” industry of private ambulance transportation. After growing the business to annual revenues over $7MM in less than three years, he orchestrated a successful corporate exit. Burley continued in the healthcare space with a start-up focused on telehealth and behavioral medicine and sold that venture in 2014. Burley has been seated on the board of advisors to multiple healthcare companies that equate to roughly $1B in overall profits and has spent time investing in healthcare real estate.
