Rebecca will bring her nearly 20 years of experience to the role of VP of Advertising Sales. She will drive the advertising strategy for SoloHealth's health and wellness kiosks, including the SoloHealth Station, an innovative new solution that allows consumers in high-traffic retail environments to test their vision, blood pressure, and body mass; obtain health and wellness information; and store a history of their results that can be accessed at the consumer's convenience. This health and wellness ecosystem, a "front porch" to health care, allows retailers, manufacturers, doctors, insurance companies and others to reach customers in a highly personal and targeted manner. Rebecca will also build an ad strategy for SoloHealth's mobile platforms and consumer website.

Prior to joining WebMD, Rebecca worked for The Weather Channel where she created and led the mobile advertising strategy for The Weather Channel cable network and weather.com.
