Chief Marketing Officer HealthEdge

Last Reviewed: September 18, 2026

Executive Summary

Jessica Deckinger is Chief Marketing Officer at HealthEdge, the healthcare technology company whose platform supports the core administrative systems health plans run on — claims processing, care management, and benefit administration. She brings more than twenty years spanning consumer and business marketing, communications, and investor relations, a combination less common than it sounds: marketing to consumers, selling enterprise software to health plans, and explaining a business to investors are three quite different disciplines, and she has led all three. She was Chief Communications Officer at Everbridge and Global Chief Marketing Officer for Aon’s M&A and Transaction Services business, and holds a Penn bachelor’s degree and a Harvard MBA.

Professional Journey

Deckinger took a bachelor’s degree at the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA at Harvard Business School, and built a career unusually balanced between consumer and business marketing. Her experience spans finance, demand generation, consumer experience, public relations, and integrated marketing, with roughly eighteen years as an operator across both B2C and B2B roles and involvement in three separate startup ventures. She led marketing and communications for Humana, the health insurer — an early grounding in the healthcare payer world she now sells into.

From 2020 to 2022 she was Chief Communications Officer at Everbridge, the critical event management company whose software organizations use to communicate during emergencies. Holding that role through that particular period is notable: the category was under exceptional demand and scrutiny, and communications leadership at a company whose product is emergency communication carries an obvious extra weight.

She subsequently served as Global Chief Marketing Officer for Aon’s M&A and Transaction Services business, marketing professional services to private equity and corporate acquirers — a buyer with little tolerance for conventional marketing and a high bar for substantive expertise.

At HealthEdge she leads marketing for a company selling into health plans, one of the most conservative enterprise software markets there is. The systems in question sit at the centre of a payer’s operations, replacing them is a multi-year undertaking, and buyers are correspondingly risk-averse. Marketing in that environment is less about demand generation than about establishing the credibility required to be considered at all, which is where a background combining enterprise marketing, communications, and investor relations is directly useful.
