[Chantilly, Va.]  May 19, 2018  — UPIC Health, LLC recently hired Juli Briskman as Chief Marketing Officer to lead the growing organization’s efforts in public relations and marketing.  Briskman began her role in March and already has facilitated a relaunch of the website and initiated branded social media channels.

In national and international interviews following the incident, in which it was revealed that Akima did not fire a male employee who had posted lewd and racist comments on social media while identifying himself as an employee, Briskman stated that she wanted to work with a company where the corporate culture aligns with her values.

“We are that place,” Tucker said. “We couldn’t be happier with Juli’s decision to join UPIC and her presence already has added tremendous value to our organization.”
