Michaelson, a 20-year veteran of leading global health and wellness media organizations, brings deep experience in developing and executing innovative business strategies that deliver bottom line results. In this role, Michaelson will be responsible for helping Edison portfolio companies enhance their corporate strategies, business models, market expansion opportunities, and operational efficiencies.

In his most recent position, Michaelson served as CEO at Linkwell Health, a leading consumer engagement company in the healthcare industry, where he built a proprietary content marketing system licensed by 16 major health plans to improve digital engagement, brand satisfaction, and care utilization. Before Linkwell Health, Michaelson was president and chief marketing officer at Rodale, growing international brands, such as Men's Health, Women's Health, and Prevention into category leaders.

"The firm's Edison Edge platform and dedication to accelerating growth and scale for its companies aligns perfectly with my experience as a CEO and an operator in high-growth organizations small and large," said Michaelson. I am thrilled to join the Edison team and look forward to rolling up my sleeves with current and new portfolio companies."

Last week, Edison announced an $8 million investment in TripleLift, the first investment for Edison Partners VIII, and the twenty-fourth investment by its Interactive Marketing & Digital Media practice.
