Seasoned industry executive brings decades of financial strategy and leadership experience to GoodRx
GoodRx (NASDAQ:GDRX), the leading prescription savings platform in the U.S., today announced that Christopher A. McGinnis has been appointed as Chief Financial Officer, effective February 4, 2025. Chris brings 30 years of extensive financial experience across the healthcare industry to his new role.
Chris will join GoodRx following his role as CEO of CitizensRx, where he led the company in providing pharmacy benefit management services to commercial clients. Before that, Chris held various executive roles at Lumeris / Essence Healthcare, a Medicare Advantage plan and value-based healthcare operator, including serving as its Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President of Operations where he oversaw all aspects of health plan operations, value-based services, and technology. Prior to that, as Chief Accounting Officer at Express Scripts Holding Company, Chris had overall responsibility for accounting, SEC reporting and compliance, tax strategy and investor relations for one of the largest pharmacy benefit managers in the country.
"I'm thrilled to welcome Chris to the team and know that his deep financial expertise and strong healthcare track record will prove to be an incredibly valuable asset for the company," said Wendy Barnes, Chief Executive Officer and President of GoodRx. "I had the privilege of working alongside Chris during his tenure at Express Scripts and know he is uniquely equipped to help guide GoodRx through its next phase of growth. I look forward to working together again to help remove the friction Americans face when getting their medications."
"I am excited to join GoodRx and help lead the company's efforts to make healthcare easier to understand and more affordable for millions of Americans," said Chris McGinnis, the newly appointed Chief Financial Officer of GoodRx. "I've witnessed firsthand that the pharmacy industry needs a complementary solution to a fragmented structure that enables consumers to easily fill their medications. I believe GoodRx is well-positioned to deliver on these promises, and I look forward to working with a talented leadership team to drive growth and deliver stakeholder value."
