Philadelphia, PA – October 7, 2019 – Wambi proudly announces that the company was named a Finalist in Fastest Growing Company of the Year category and co-founder Alex Coren was named a Finalist in the Young Female Entrepreneur of the Year category in the 16th annual Stevie® Awards for Women in Business. Both the company and Coren will ultimately be Gold, Silver, or Bronze Stevie Award winners.
The Stevie Awards for Women in Business honor women executives, entrepreneurs, employees and the companies they run – worldwide. The Stevie Awards have been hailed as the world’s premier business awards.
Gold, Silver, and Bronze Stevie Award winners will be announced during a gala event at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York on Friday, November 15. Nominated women executives and entrepreneurs from the U.S.A and several other countries are expected to attend. The event will be broadcast on Livestream.
More than 1,500 entries were submitted this year for consideration. “We are honored to be recognized by our business peers amongst such inspiring women,” says Coren. “This acknowledgement is a representation of the hard work our team has done, and our commitment to creating sustained change for our clients*.*”
Finalists were determined by the average scores of more than 150 business professionals around the world, working on seven juries. Their scores will also determine the Gold, Silver, and Bronze Stevie Award placements that will be revealed at the 16th annual awards dinner and presentations in New York.
“In its sixteenth year, the Stevie Awards for Women in Business received a record number of nominations. With the second annual Women|Future Conference preceding the announcement of winners on November 15, it will be a day to celebrate the achievements of working women around the world,” said Michael Gallagher, founder and Executive Chairman of the Stevie Awards. “We’re looking forward to recognizing the Stevie Award winners next month.”
Wambi CEO and Co-founder Rebecca Metter adds, “The tech industry has notoriously been dominated by male leadership. I am thrilled that my partner, Alex, is a part of this momentous time in our history when women are taking risks and bringing to bare their skills, vision, and creativity to improve our future.”
Details about the Stevie Awards for Women in Business and the list of Finalists in all categories are available at www.StevieAwards.com/Women.

Alex Coren inventor, co-founder and CINO of Wambi and CEO & co-founder of its affiliate, Carepostcard was recognized as a rising start at The Top Women in Healthcare Awards Luncheon
“The Top Women in Healthcare Awards Luncheon took place on July 16, 2019 at The Yale Club in New York City. This celebratory event brought together female healthcare executives who are advancing their profession in meaningful and moving ways, with an impact on patients, customers and culture at large.”
In this role, Dr. Clipper will oversee clinical innovation, user experience, and development of new product features that create value for Wambi’s clients, nurse leaders and their teams. Dr. Clipper identified Wambi as a best in class solution making a significant impact on the lives of care providers, nurse leaders, and ultimately, patients. “I was attracted to Wambi’s approach of improving the patient experience by directly empowering the clinical teams that care for them. I also truly believe in the motivational influence of competition and gamification, both of which set Wambi apart in a crowded health IT landscape,” says Dr. Clipper.
At its core, Wambi delivers an employee engagement and recognition platform powered by the voices of patients and their families. The system enables patients to express gratitude for those healthcare professionals who tended to them during the time of their care and leverages this data to drive engagement, reduce turnover, and improve the patient experience.
Dr. Clipper, a former Chief Nursing Officer, has spent her career focused on innovation in the nursing profession. In her most recent role as Vice President of Innovation at the American Nursing Association (ANA), Dr. Clipper mobilized nurses to think like innovators. “Nurses know what tools they need. They are well-equipped to identify what technologies do not currently exist but, if created and adopted, could bring positive change to the nursing field,” she remarks. “It’s hard to find reliable and effective ways to recognize your staff. Wambi solves that problem.”
As a thought leader and sought-after speaker on nursing innovation, Dr. Clipper will aim to demonstrate the power of real-time patient feedback and recognition to both domestic and international communities of healthcare leaders. Wambi CEO Rebecca Metter explains, “We are absolutely thrilled to have Bonnie join the Wambi family. With her extensive background in clinical innovation, Bonnie brings a deep knowledge and important perspective that will further delight our clients and increase awareness in the healthcare industry.”
This Compassion Day, Wambi, LLC announces the launch of its affiliate Carepostcard, LLC, an innovative way to spread gratitude in the healthcare community. Carepostcard is a free, user-friendly tool for patients and healthcare professionals to write and share electronic postcards of appreciation and for prospective patients to identify compassionate providers in their area.
Wambi is dedicated to bringing compassion to the forefront of healthcare and offers a patient-driven employee recognition platform for healthcare organizations to achieve that mission. While working to improve patient satisfaction through engaging healthcare workers, members of Wambi’s leadership team realized that there was no effective way to publicly appreciate providers.
Alex Coren, Wambi Inventor and Co-founder, emphasizes the profound impact that gratitude, expressed and received, has on patient and caregiver experiences. “I view the world through a lens of compassion,” says Coren, of Miami, Florida. “Utilizing Wambi to drive cultural change, reduce caregiver turnover, and improve satisfaction is salient. However, in order to systemically effectuate change in healthcare, we needed to start a movement within our communities—the Compassionate Care Movement. Carepostcard is our vehicle to propel the Movement.”
Carepostcard’s mission is threefold: users are able to visit the site to write and share notes of gratitude to their treasured care providers; healthcare providers can receive notifications, as well as view, share, and promote their Carepostcards; and prospective patients are able to use the site’s Carefinder tool to search for compassionate providers in their area by reviewing Carepostcards written by other patients.
As Rebecca Metter, Wambi CEO explains, “Promoting compassionate care is part of everything we do. Through Carepostcard and the Movement, we will facilitate sharing gratitude as well as receiving it, making for happier providers and patients—and ultimately kinder care for all.”
Carepostcard, LLC, a Wambi affiliate, is an innovative and free digital platform that offers a public way to express gratitude for outstanding care providers. Based in Los Angeles, CA, Carepostcard drives compassionate care by enabling a seamless way for patients to thank their providers and prospective patients to search for compassionate providers in their area.
