Nate Purpura

Nate joined Bicycle Health in 2022 to lead B2B marketing, corporate communications and brand. As a graduate of Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, Nate spent several years working as a journalist and in public relations before taking a small stable of clients and launching a green-tech PR firm with fellow journalists, called Green Car Marketing & Communications. Nate spent half a decade leading account management and business development at the firm, before going in-house at the Permanente Medical Group to lead B2B marketing for the medical group’s prevention programs. 

In 2008, Nate joined eHealth, Inc. (Nasdaq: EHTH) shortly after their IPO, and led their corporate communications, content and brand marketing into and through the Affordable Care Act. In 2017, Nate became general manager of eHealth’s online, “off exchange” insurance marketplace, eHealth.com, before joining eHealth’s high-growth Medicare business where he built go-to-market programs for strategic healthcare partners, including CVS, Walgreens and Costco, that generated consecutive years of triple-digit revenue growth of over $100M in two years.

In his free time, Nate enjoys mountain biking with his kids and his dogs, coaching his kids’ sports teams and attending concerts with his wife.
