DENVER, April 21, 2022 —  CCRM Fertility, a global pioneer in fertility treatment, research and science, today announced the addition of two senior healthcare executives to its leadership team: Eleanor Harte as chief operations officer and Wade Lowder as chief information officer. In their new roles, both leaders will develop and execute strategic plans in support of company’s growth plans and focus on quality outcomes, with Harte driving the operational infrastructure and Lowder focused on building the IT infrastructure and related processes. 

“With the rising trend of delayed pregnancies and increasing demand for high-quality fertility care, the fertility treatment market is expected to grow 10-15% per year. It is important for us to meet this demand by hiring the right professionals to take CCRM Fertility forward,” said Jon Pardew, president and CEO of CCRM Fertility. “Eleanor and Wade are seasoned professionals who’ve both made their respective sectors stronger and more efficient.

Harte earned her BS in human biology from Stanford University and her MBA from Harvard Business School.
