Professional Journey

Allen’s career has run through finance leadership in industrial, enterprise software and healthcare technology companies. According to eClinical Solutions, she held finance leadership roles at Amwell, Rolls-Royce, Fleetmatics and Verizon Connect; the company does not give the order or dates. At Amwell she helped establish the Financial Planning & Analysis function and played a key finance role in the company’s 2020 initial public offering.

In April 2022 she joined Aetion as VP of Finance. A June 2023 profile by the Controllers Council described her mandate as evolving the finance function to serve multiple equity partners during a period of rapid expansion. Her team implemented operational reporting, rolling forecasts and product-line and segment analysis, and automated reporting to reduce the month-end close by a third. She described effective finance leadership as “telling the story – not just the numbers.” She later became Senior Vice President of Finance and, in eClinical’s account, helped drive Aetion’s financial strategy through its acquisition by Datavant.

At eClinical Solutions she is Chief Financial Officer, leading Finance and Legal and partnering across the business on long-term value creation. eClinical had announced Sean Lannan as Chief Financial Officer in May 2025; he no longer appears on its leadership page, and the company has not published when Allen took the role. She works within a leadership team that includes co-founder and President Bob Arnesen, Chief Operating Officer Lauren Whitsell and Chief Transformation and AI Officer Venu Mallarapu.
