AmeriPro Health, an industry leader in emergency services, patient logistics
and technology-driven healthcare services and solutions, announced today the hiring of Anup Gopalakrishnan as the company’s new Chief Financial Officer. In this role, Gopalakrishnan will oversee the company’s financial strategy, accounting, budgeting, forecasting and long-term growth initiatives as AmeriPro continues to expand its operations and strengthen its commitment to delivering high-quality emergency medical care.

Gopalakrishnan brings two decades of finance leadership and strategic planning experience to the position, primarily focused on private equity-owned healthcare portfolio companies. In this capacity, he has a solid track record of driving earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) expansion through financial turnarounds, revenue cycle management optimization and revenue recognition remediation.

Gopalakrishnan has provided executive leadership as interim CFO, operating partner and value-creation consultant across more than a dozen healthcare verticals. With a background spanning both finance and technology, he brings expertise in financial operations, data integrity, scalable reporting and financial data pipeline architecture.

“Anup is a results-oriented, hands-on leader who brings a rare blend of financial and technology expertise to our organization,” said Larry Richardson, CEO of AmeriPro. “His ability to bridge finance, data and operational strategy has consistently driven stronger visibility, efficiency and performance across the organizations he has served. His leadership and data-driven approach will be a tremendous asset as AmeriPro continues to grow and expand our services to more communities, while strengthening the financial and operational foundation needed to support that expansion.”

His relationship with AmeriPro dates back to 2019, when he helped establish the company’s revenue recognition framework, close-cycle protocols, asset utilization metrics and monthly reporting packages, while also hiring and mentoring the company’s first controller.

“I’ve watched AmeriPro evolve as a company and am excited to join the team at such an important stage of its growth,” said Gopalakrishnan. “I look forward to strengthening the financial and operational foundation that allows for continued expansion of AmeriPro’s high-quality emergency medical services to more communities, while also supporting the paramedics and EMTs who deliver that care every day.”

Gopalakrishnan’s addition to AmeriPro’s executive leadership team reinforces the company’s commitment to investing for long-term growth through geographic expansion. At AmeriPro, he will focus on strengthening financial performance, enhancing the reporting infrastructure and supporting the company’s mission to provide exceptional medical transportation services, while ensuring the paramedics and EMTs have the resources they need to grow and succeed professionally.

Gopalakrishnan earned his Master of Business Administration from the Goizueta Business School at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, and his Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering from the National Institute of Technology, Karnataka (NITK) in Surathkal, India.

Established in 2018 in the Metro Atlanta area, AmeriPro has grown to more than 1,500 employees across 10 states. The company is active in major markets such as Atlanta, Detroit, Louisville, and Jacksonville, with continued growth projected in the months ahead.
