OUR TEAM

As CEO of RiteChoice, Adam is dedicated to delivering quality outcomes to our partners, patients and employees. He has worked hard to build a mission-focused organization that continues to align with the missions of our clients; people-first, always at the center. That is why Adam believes in the importance of investing in people. It is our people that continue to inspire him to grow and expand our potential.

As a strategic partner, Adam keeps his finger on the pulse of the ever-changing regulatory and compliance landscape, building new FQHC relationships, and developing new service models to further support our partners.

His approach and perspective towards the FQHC world can be traced back to his humble beginnings. Born and raised in South Philadelphia to Syrian immigrant parents, Adam experienced first-hand the realities of living in a complicated healthcare system. One of his life’s missions is to bring affordable, convenient and simple solutions to complex healthcare matters for the benefit of patient care. Fueled by this desire and his background, he joined RiteChoice and quickly began shifting the company focus to the 340B drug discount program, making this program the forefront of the RiteChoice mission. Adam’s extensive experience with the 340B program from both a legal and pharmaceutical lens has made him a go-to expert on the topic, while his diverse upbringing provides a unique perspective to both RiteChoice and it’s FQHC partners.

To date, Adam maintains a law license in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey. His spare time is spent with his wife, Arianna, daughter Giuliana, and two dogs, Simba and Tessa.

As Chief Operating Officer of RiteChoice Rx, Johnny is responsible for leading the company’s operational strategy and execution, with a focus on removing friction and administrative burdens for FQHC partners, providers, patients, and employees. His leadership is centered on building scalable infrastructure, developing high-performing teams, and creating sustainable systems that support growth while enhancing access to high-quality patient care.

Johnny’s healthcare journey began as a pharmacy technician, inspiring him to pursue a Doctor of Pharmacy degree, which he earned in 2008. After practicing as a pharmacist, he spent more than 15 years advancing through increasingly complex leadership roles across healthcare, retail, and logistics-driven organizations.  Throughout his career, Johnny has held senior executive positions within both high-growth, investor-backed companies and Fortune 10 enterprises, leading large-scale operations, organizational transformation, growth initiatives, and cross-functional teams across the United States and international markets.

What attracted Johnny to RiteChoice Rx is its mission, its vision for the future, and the opportunity to help professionalize operations while supporting continued growth that expands access to care for underserved communities.

Outside of work, Johnny enjoys spending time with his partner, Jenay, his children, Alex and Sofia, and their pets, Lily, Tucker, and Ted. He is also an avid Detroit sports fan who enjoys hip hop, classic rock, discovering new restaurants, and spending as much time outdoors as possible—especially at the beach.
