The acquisition expands the Mountaingate Capital-backed company’s healthcare platform, adding to its ability to connect leaders.
B2B media and marketing company WTWH Media has acquired HealthLeaders, a media and events platform serving hospital and health system executives, from Simplify Compliance, WTWH said late last week. Terms were not disclosed.
“We initially connected with the HL team back in early winter 2025 and have spent the last 5-6 months agreeing on the partnership,” WTWH Media CEO Matt Logan told SIIA Media Alert today.
“Since [I joined] WTWH Media as CEO in February 2025, one of our strategic pillars has been to identify businesses that offer synergies across one of our three portfolios: engineering, healthcare, or food/retail/hospitality. While we have been identifying partners for both our live and digital platforms, the WTWH live business has experienced accelerated growth across all portfolios.
“The Health Leaders Exchange model is a perfect fit because it follows a similar strategy: providing customers access to highly qualified, vertical audiences where meaningful connections are created,” Logan added. “We are extremely excited about this acquisition and have already begun integrating the businesses.”
Cleveland-based WTWH Media was founded in 2006. The acquisition broadens its connections to hospital and health system executives across strategy, finance, innovation, and clinical leadership.
For more than 25 years, HealthLeaders has served as a bridge between healthcare leaders and solution providers, engaging executives across many topics, platforms, and events. Most recently, it had been part of Leadership Platforms, a division of Simplify Compliance.
“HealthLeaders has always focused on elevating the business of healthcare by connecting leaders and facilitating meaningful conversations,” said Rafael Cardoso, president of HealthLeaders. “Joining WTWH Media allows HealthLeaders to expand those conversations while continuing to serve the executive community that has been at the center of our mission.”
