Prior to joining Livongo, Mr. Burke served as president of Cerner, where he spent more than two decades and filled several executive roles in sales, strategy, finance and operations. He left the Kansas City, Mo.-based EHR vendor in 2018 to lead daily operations at Livongo.

As a member of Owlet’s board, Mr. Burke will advise on virtual care and telehealth initiatives as the company looks to innovate healthcare experiences for parents and infants.
“My personal mission has always been to propel a reinvention of our healthcare system, creating a different type of healthcare experience that makes it as easy as possible for people to stay healthy,” Mr. Burke said in a news release. “I strongly believe that new virtual care will play a critical role in the future of pediatric care and that Owlet has the capabilities to emerge as the leader entering this transformative period in the industry.”
