Cardamom Health has moved to downtown Madison as it looks toward continued growth.
On Dec. 5, Cardamom Health unveiled its new office space. Moving from the west side, the new space sits at 1 S. Pinckney St. STE 300 with ample space for its employees. The Health IT consulting company is excited about the new office as it anticipates massive growth over the next few years with the ability to take over more of the floor.
Around 50 people gathered between employees and supporters to celebrate Cardamom Health’s move.
“This feels like a major step in our journey. It’s a great place for us to collaborate,” said Vivek Swaminathan, CEO of Cardamom Health. “Being downtown, there’s so much energy, and this space in particular, it’s warm, it’s perfect for our team, where we can collaborate really well, engage with each other and support one another.”
The move helps Cardamom with its goal to expand its number of employees and customers. It expects to quadruple in size by revenue, and jump to over 100 employees and over 50 customers.
Growth helps it better service its customers — which are primarily in the health sector like Epic — to help provide better outcomes to patients. Its goal is to help provide information to make medical visits more efficient and cost less.
“As we look at technology and think about making sure they’re maximizing their usage of,” Swaminathan said. “They’re eliminating technology they don’t need, and they’re really having teams like us support the systems, then they can focus on the care… somebody like us can help them connect their connected data.”
Growth also serves another function for Swaminathan. Growing up in Madison, he didn’t see a lot of people that looked like him. While there are businesses owned by people of color in Madison, it’s mainly main street style businesses, retail and restaurant stores, not starting a more corporate venture like Cardamom Health.
“I kind of felt a little bit of a duty to do that and try to be at least a visible person for others, to show people that you can do it,” Swaminathan said. “I just don’t see a lot of people of color CEOs. I’m grateful and proud to be one and to be able to show everyone that we can all be successful.”
