Axia Women's Health — Account Dossier
Why This Company
Fit:
- PE-backed women's health MSO (Partners Group, ~$800M acquisition 2021), 200+ care centers, 500K+ patients annually, ~$263M revenue — HIPAA-regulated with confirmed Redox integration to eClinicalWorks EHR (Healthcare IT News); (Tracxn)
Pain:
- Billing communication crisis: BBB D- rating — 17 patient complaints in 3 years, all 17 unanswered. Patterns: hour+ hold times, 10+ unreturned voicemails, insurance claims never resubmitted, bills sent to collections erroneously, collection agency threats despite proof of payment (BBB)
- PSR overwhelm with zero contact center automation: Employee reviews describe "insane" call volume, "3 people taking calls for 2 offices," chronic understaffing, and 2.5/5 PSR satisfaction. Migrated to RingCentral UCaaS but deployed no AI call containment — 200+ locations each handle calls with overwhelmed front desk staff (Indeed); (CTPros Case Study)
Timing:
- New CEO Kyle Snook (June 2025) — a PE exit operator who just delivered an $850M exit at PRISM Vision via McKesson acquisition (April 2025). Partners Group is 4.5+ years into hold period, classic exit window. New CIO Pallavi Chandak (2024) with an explicit AI/patient experience mandate. Leadership refresh signals Partners Group is driving operational transformation ahead of exit (PR Newswire); (McKesson PR)

Entry Strategy
Recommended Entry Point: Kyle Snook (CEO)
The military veteran connection through Matt Edic provides the strongest warm path. Both are combat veterans from U.S. military service academies — Snook (West Point, 101st Airborne, Purple Heart) and Edic (Naval Academy, USMC Infantry) (CSMonitor, Nov 2012). This bond bypasses cold outreach entirely. Snook's entire career has been driving operational efficiency in PE-backed multi-location healthcare; IntelePeer's value proposition maps directly to his mandate from Partners Group.
Potential Champion: Pallavi Chandak (CIO)
Her Corporate ORBIE recognition for "improving agent experience and hence patient experience" is IntelePeer's thesis in her own words (ORBIE Special Section). She publicly discussed using AI to free healthcare workers from administrative burden (Podcast, March 2025). She owns AI strategy, and no competing contact center AI platform is deployed — this is greenfield.
Secondary Warm Path: Audax Private Equity created Axia in 2017 and currently owns 42 North Dental, a confirmed IntelePeer customer deploying SmartOffice across 88+ locations (Audax Portfolio); (BusinessWire). Axia executives who built relationships with Audax during the 2017-2021 formation period would recognize a referral from the same PE firm that created their organization — carrying built-in proof of results.
Key Context
- Greenfield for contact center AI: Axia migrated to RingCentral UCaaS but has zero CCaaS or AI call containment deployed. No evidence of NICE, Five9, Genesys, or RingCX. No displacement required — only adoption. Technical note: IntelePeer's documented overlay model cites Cisco/Avaya/Teams; RingCentral overlay compatibility needs internal engineering validation (CTPros Case Study)
- PE exit window is open: Partners Group acquired for ~$800M in May 2021 (4.5+ years in). CEO Snook delivered PRISM's $850M exit, CFO Petit delivered ConvenientMD's Bain Capital exit — both are proven exit operators installed to drive the same outcome at Axia (PE Hub)
- Partners Group cross-portfolio opportunity: Board member Sujit John oversees both Axia and Blue River PetCare (~194 veterinary hospitals). IntelePeer's Sean Barry is actively exploring the veterinary vertical. This enables a portfolio-wide communications automation pitch, not just a single deal (PR Newswire — John quoted as Axia board member); (The Org — Blue River board seat); (Blue River PetCare)
