Medely, an established leader in technology-based healthcare staffing solutions, is excited to announce the addition of Brent Loder as Chief Financial Officer.
“Brent brings a rare combination of marketplace expertise, strategic rigor, and operational excellence,” Waleed Nasr, CEO of Medely, shared. “His leadership will be instrumental as we scale Medely’s impact across the healthcare industry. I’m excited for what we’ll accomplish together as we enter this next phase of growth.”
Before joining Medely, Brent held several high-impact roles at leading marketplace companies. For the past five years, he led FP&A and Investor Relations at Turo, a peer-to-peer car-sharing marketplace. Prior to Turo, Brent spent a year at Airbnb, overseeing the Finance function for their hotels division. And before Airbnb, he was with HotelTonight, where he helped lead FP&A and Strategic Finance.
With extensive experience in marketplace businesses, Brent brings a deep understanding of the complex financial dynamics that drive our fast-growing platform—one that serves both healthcare facilities and healthcare professionals. “What came naturally,” Brent shared, “was the familiarity with marketplace models. I’ve spent so much time in this space that the language, the strategic thinking, and the balancing of supply and demand all feel second nature. Having led large, rapidly scaling marketplaces in the past has allowed me to really hit the ground running.”
As Brent steps into his first role in the healthcare sector, he’s motivated by the opportunity to address the inefficiencies in staffing that have strained the broader healthcare system. “The market is massive; it impacts everyone, regardless of who you are, where you live, or what stage of life you’re in,” Brent said. “At some point, we all rely on healthcare. The chance to help make this system more efficient and responsive is incredibly compelling to me.”
As he settles into his role, Brent’s primary goal is simple: strengthening Medely’s financial goals so it can grow to be the go-to staffing solution for healthcare facilities across the country. “Growth is very much a focus,” Brent shared. “I want to build this to be a fast-growing, super efficient marketplace. Marketplace businesses, in general, tend to be a winner-take-all situation, and I think we have a really great foundation here at Medely from which to try and capture this market.”
Medely’s ambitious, mission-driven team left a strong impression on Brent from his very first interview through the early days in his new role. “From my initial conversation with CEO Waleed Nasr, I was struck by his clarity and focus,” Brent shared. “He’s deeply analytical, direct, and has a strong grasp of how marketplace businesses operate. I also respect his track record as a successful entrepreneur. When he laid out his long-term vision for Medely, it immediately resonated with me—I knew it was something I wanted to be part of.”
As Brent develops a financial strategy aligned with Medely’s broader business objectives, he’s energized by the opportunity to collaborate with a team so passionate about transforming the healthcare industry. “I’m genuinely excited to be here and inspired by the company’s vision and mission,” Brent said. “The leadership team—and really the entire organization—has impressed me with their drive and culture. I’m looking forward to working together to keep pushing the business forward, because I truly believe Medely has the potential to become something huge.”
