We’re excited to announce that Lorraine Buhannic has joined Headway as our first Chief People Officer! Lorraine is a seasoned people leader and human resources (HR) executive, bringing extensive experience scaling operations and culture at high-growth technology companies.?

At Headway, we believe that true impact starts with having incredible talent – and cultivating an environment where every member of our team feels valued and appreciated for who they are. Lorraine’s deep passion for developing talent and her unwavering commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion make her the perfect fit to lead our people-focused efforts.?

“Headway’s growth and ambitious mission require the best talent,” said Andrew Adams, Founder & CEO of Headway. “Lorraine’s extensive experience scaling teams, talent strategies and development programs makes her the ideal leader to guide Headway through its next phase of growth and help us maintain an environment where our culture thrives.”

Before joining Headway, Lorraine was the Senior Vice President and Head of Talent at Juxtapose, an investment firm with a significant health care presence, where she led the talent team and helped portfolio companies build and scale top-notch people teams and strategies. Earlier in her career, she was the Chief People Officer at Orchard, where she built the people team and infrastructure, ultimately scaling the company from 80 to 1,000 employees. Prior to Orchard, she helped to scale two of New York City’s most successful companies – Squarespace and AppNexus – hiring and developing hundreds of employees across each organization.?

In addition to her impressive background, Lorraine’s inclination to Think Future-First and Be Relationship-Obsessed – two of Headway’s core values – makes her a great fit for our collaborative culture.?

“Headway’s aim to make mental health care accessible and affordable deeply resonates with me,” said Buhannic. “The mission, combined with the company’s people-driven approach to its team and product, make it a natural next step for me. I look forward to working with the team to grow our impact with world-class talent attraction and development strategies.”?

Lorraine is also an accomplished executive coach, a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF), and a certified Co-Active Coach (CTI). She holds a bachelor’s degree from Dartmouth College.
