Hims & Hers Names Anant Vinjamoori Chief Medical Officer of Hims Brand
SAN FRANCISCO — Hims & Hers Health Inc. has appointed Anant Vinjamoori, M.D., as chief medical officer of its Hims brand, the company said Thursday.
Vinjamoori will provide clinical guidance for the men’s health brand across sexual health, hormone health, dermatology, weight loss and mental health, as well as emerging areas including longevity medicine and peptide therapy. He joins the company’s broader medical leadership team, which is led by Pat Carroll, M.D., global chief medical officer of Hims & Hers.
Hims & Hers said the appointment comes as the company works to expand access to proactive and comprehensive care through its digital health platform.
Vinjamoori has more than a decade of clinical and executive experience in internal medicine, primary care and longevity medicine. He has led product and medical teams at health technology companies including Virta Health and Modern Age.
He is also the founder of Next Generation Medicine, which provides medical education and artificial intelligence technology designed to help clinicians implement evidence-based longevity medicine in their practices. Vinjamoori has also served as an adviser to consumer wellness companies including Superpower and Midi Health.
He has authored several peer-reviewed publications and received his M.D. from Harvard Medical School and his MBA from Harvard Business School.
“Men are increasingly seeking care that goes beyond reactive treatment – they want to feel their best at every age, and they are paying close attention to the science that makes that possible,” Vinjamoori said. “This is the right time to increase access to high-quality, science-driven care that helps men feel like the best versions of themselves. Hims has the scale, consumer trust, and vision to do it right. I can’t wait to get started.”
Carroll said Vinjamoori’s experience in preventive and longevity care will help guide the next stage of growth for the Hims brand.
“As medicine advances, we have a responsibility to bring our customers the latest innovations in treatments, services, and research,” Carroll said. “Dr. Vinjamoori has been at the leading edge of helping people feel great at every stage of life, and he brings the perfect combination of clinical expertise and dedication to consumer access to Hims & Hers. I’m excited to see the deep impact he will have on our Hims customers.”

The company said those physicians help ensure care available through its platform is based on current research and clinical guidelines. (Source: IANS)
