Vernon Hills, Illinois Apr 13, 2020 (Issuewire.com) - Fibromyalgia Patient Education and Support Organization (FPESO) announces that Narayanan Krishnan has been appointed as the nonprofit’s chief technology officer.
Krishnan connected with FPESO via Taproot Foundation, an organization that seeks to drive social change by leading, mobilizing, and engaging professionals in pro bono service to help build the infrastructure of other nonprofit organizations. The IT professional, who is a senior technology executive with international, multi-industry expertise, will be serving as the organization’s chief technology officer in a volunteer capacity after having created and launched its new website, www.fibromyalgiapatienteducation.info.
FPESO was founded in 2014 by Necie Edwards, a health and wellness educator, healthcare advocate, pain management expert, talk show host, life coach, and fibromyalgia warrior. Also, a part-time consultant with the FDA, Edwards founded the nonprofit to provide educational programs and services designed to improve the quality of life for patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia and other chronic pain issues.
“It was a blessing when Taproot Foundation connected me to Narayanan,” says Edwards.” He has a wealth of experience building, developing, and implementing website strategies. Thanks to his expertise, the FPESO’s digital presence expands our outreach in creating awareness around fibromyalgia, providing more learning opportunities for existing FPESO members, and delivering fibromyalgia information through an enhanced digital experience that will transform the lives of people suffering from fibromyalgia and other debilitating pain issues.”
“I instantly connected with Necie’s mission and vision as my mother suffers from rheumatoid arthritis and is in chronic pain,” says Krishnan. “Necie’s objectives were to enhance the findability of content, provide ease of navigation, and engage pain sufferers by delivering relevant, curated, and value-added content. We came up with strategies that improved the online experience and further advanced the organization’s mission to empower individuals to help manage their chronic pain.”
As a result of Krishnan’s initiatives to improve FPESO’s technological structure and online strategy, the organization’s digital presence will be improved while providing more ease of in-house content management along with reduced costs.
