Former Instacart engineering leader brings decade of experience scaling consumer technology platforms and marketplaces to expand access to mental healthcare
NEW YORK, January, 2025 /PRNewswire/: Headway, the company building a new mental healthcare system that everyone can access, today announced its appointment of Arnaud Ferreri as Chief Technology Officer. Ferreri, a veteran engineering leader and technology executive, brings extensive experience scaling platforms and engineering organizations at high-growth technology companies. He joins today and will report to Founder and CEO Andrew Adams.
“Mental healthcare has fundamentally been held back by a lack of infrastructure bringing together patients, providers and health plans,” said Andrew Adams, Founder and CEO of Headway. “Technology is at the core of solving this. By building the right infrastructure, we can simultaneously empower providers to run thriving practices and enable patients to access quality care. Arnaud’s proven track record of scaling engineering organizations and marketplaces, combined with his personal passion for mental health access, makes him the ideal leader to drive this vision forward.”
Prior to joining Headway, Ferreri spent over a decade at Instacart, joining as one of the company’s earliest engineers when it processed just 1,000 deliveries daily. He played a pivotal role in scaling the platform as it went to handle over one million daily deliveries, leading multiple engineering divisions including consumer, advertising, catalog and retailer technologies. Before Instacart, Ferreri founded a technology company in Paris, which he later relocated to San Francisco, bringing valuable entrepreneurial experience to his role.
“My personal journey with therapy opened my eyes to how transformative mental healthcare can be, and Headway’s mission to expand access deeply resonates with me,” said Ferreri. “The company’s focus on leveraging technology to solve the complex challenges in mental healthcare access, combined with the caliber of the mission-driven team, make this a natural next step. I look forward to working alongside the team to scale our platform and create even greater impact.”
As Chief Technology Officer at Headway, Ferreri will lead the company’s engineering organization and technology strategy, focusing on building infrastructure that enables the mental healthcare system to work better for everyone involved. His team will develop solutions that eliminate administrative burden for providers and enhance their ability to run successful private practices, while creating seamless pathways for patients to find and receive high-quality, in-network care. Under his leadership, Headway will continue advancing its technology platform to strengthen the connections between providers, patients, and insurance companies – ultimately working toward a more accessible, efficient, and integrated mental healthcare system.
Ferreri received his engineering education in France before moving to the United States twelve years ago.
