Mary Tolan

With the vision and focus that has made her an investment leader, Mary engages her extensive networks and investment acumen to strategically identify founders that are poised to transform patient care services and delivery. 

She founded R1 RCM in 2003 and led the company’s growth for a decade as it evolved from an idea into a billion-dollar enterprise. She led with a team of seasoned industry professionals focused on revolutionizing patient access and revenue cycle processes for healthcare providers. The company grew to become a top provider of comprehensive end-to-end healthcare revenue cycle management services and population health management services infrastructure.
“We build entities renowned for higher-quality, lower-cost care and recognized as more engaged with the communities they serve.”

Between 2003 and 2010, Mary was the company’s Chief Executive Officer and served as Board Chair. She led the company’s IPO in 2010, earning it a $1.2 billion market capitalization.

Mary is an expert at building diverse and talented teams. Prior to founding R1 RCM, she was a Group Chief Executive at Accenture, heading up the $2.3 billion global operating group that was part of the $64 billion market cap global management consulting, technology services and outsourcing company. 
Mary also helped lead the team responsible for successfully taking Accenture public in 2001, one of that year’s largest offerings on the New York Stock Exchange. She holds a BBA from Loyola University Chicago and an MBA from the University of Chicago.
