Virta Health Appoints Laura Walmsley as Chief Commercial Officer
'Laura has a proven track record of delivering results and is a world class team builder and leader, with a thirst for growth in her professional DNA,' said Sami Inkinen, Virta co-founder and CEO. 'She joins Virta at a time of unprecedented momentum, and will be instrumental in accelerating our next chapter as we drive toward our mission of reversing diabetes and obesity in one billion people.'
That momentum includes record-breaking demand for Virta's Sustainable Weight Loss (SWL) solution—including its 'Responsible Prescribing' capabilities—and continued growth of its diabetes reversal offering. The company now works with over 550 organizations, covers more than 12 million U.S. lives, and is on track to enroll more new members in 2025 than its prior 10 years combined. In Q1 2025 alone, Virta's year-over-year revenue growth accelerated to over 80% on top of more than $100 million annualized revenue.
'I look forward to working closely with our Health Plans, Employers and other ecosystem partners to accelerate our progress towards reversing chronic diseases,' said Walmsley. 'The cost and complexity of GLP-1 use continues to rise, as do rates of weight-related chronic disease. Virta offers a proven and differentiated solution with a 10 year track record of outcomes, and I'm excited to be a part of Virta's incredible mission of saving lives at this critical time.'
Walmsley's leadership roles in sales, marketing, client success, and commercial growth include Preventure, Virgin Pulse, and most recently Personify Health. She's led companies through growth phases of over 420% in top line revenue and 1,100% in EBITDA growth.
Walmsley graduated from James Madison University and currently resides in New England with her family.

Data Sovereignty Shapes Netherlands Cloud Strategies
Enterprises adopt hybrid and multicloud architectures for data protection, flexibility, edge computing, ISG Provider Lens® report says AMSTERDAM, August 05, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Enterprises in the Netherlands are shifting to hybrid and multicloud environments for agility, security and compliance, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm. The 2025 ISG Provider Lens® Private/Hybrid Cloud — Data Center Services report for the Netherlands finds demand for sovereign cloud solutions rising as data protection and digital sovereignty mandates grow stricter and more coordinated. Dutch enterprises, particularly in regulated sectors such as healthcare, finance and government, are seeking cloud architectures that ensure sensitive data remains within national boundaries. "The Dutch market is experiencing rapid growth in sovereign and hybrid cloud adoption," said Anthony Drake, partner at ISG. "This trend aligns closely with sustainability initiatives that are also influencing data center investments." The Netherlands is emerging as a leading European market for colocation and edge computing, driven by enterprise demand for secure, sustainable and compliant data centers, the report says. As edge computing grows, many organizations are also using colocation centers for faster data processing that is available closer to users. Sustainability goals are driving Dutch enterprises toward green data center operations, with more than 80 percent of centers already powered by renewable energy, ISG says. Enterprises adopt measures such as advanced cooling technologies, waste heat reuse and renewable energy integration to enhance operational efficiency, comply with environmental laws and meet national climate targets. Many Dutch companies are adopting advanced technologies such as AI, ML and real-time monitoring to strengthen cloud operations and security, the report says. Industries including healthcare and finance embrace robust security models such as zero trust to protect complex cloud environments. Amid this evolution, providers are addressing skills shortages by expanding managed services and automation, helping clients address cloud complexity. Enterprises in the Netherlands increasingly seek flexible, customized cloud solutions that go beyond basic infrastructure to support efficient workload migration, seamless integration and enhanced security for sensitive data, ISG says. Companies need these environments to ensure greater operational control, improved performance and adherence to evolving data protection regulations. "Dutch enterprises are prioritizing adaptable cloud strategies to navigate changing technology demands," said Meenakshi Srivastava, lead analyst, ISG Provider Lens Research, and lead author of the report. "They prefer tailored services that simplify compliance while providing strong protection." The report also explores other cloud trends in the Netherlands, including the requirement for cloud portability and interoperability to avoid vendor lock-in and the deployment of adaptive AI solutions to streamline complex business processes. For more insights into the cloud-related challenges faced by Dutch enterprises, along with ISG's advice for addressing them, see the ISG Provider Lens® Focal Points briefing here. The 2025 ISG Provider Lens® Private/Hybrid Cloud — Data Center Services report for the Netherlands evaluates the capabilities of 48 providers across three quadrants: Managed Services, Colocation Services and AI-Ready Infrastructure Consulting. The report names Accenture, Capgemini, Kyndryl and TCS as Leaders in two quadrants each. Atos, Cognizant, CyrusOne, Digital Realty, DXC Technology, Equinix, Eurofiber Cloud Infra, maincubes, NorthC Datacenters, NTT DATA, QTS and Wipro are named as Leaders in one quadrant each. In addition, LTIMindtree and nLighten are named as Rising Stars — companies with a "promising portfolio" and "high future potential" by ISG's definition — in one quadrant each. In the area of customer experience, Persistent Systems is named the global ISG CX Star Performer for 2025 among private/hybrid cloud and data center service providers. Persistent Systems earned the highest customer satisfaction scores in ISG's Voice of the Customer survey, part of the ISG Star of Excellence™ program, the premier quality recognition for the technology and business services industry.
