Named Best CFO of a Small Cap Healthcare Company by Institutional Investor in 2017, Mark Hirschhorn has more than three decades of financial and operational leadership experience across various sectors, managing more than 45 acquisitions during this time. In February 2020, Mark Hirschhorn was named president and COO of Talkspace.
Talkspace, which provides online mental health therapy and services, partnered with musician and activist Demi Lovato in September 2020. Appointed spokesperson for the company, Lovato has been tasked with using her voice to not only destigmatize therapy but to encourage others to proactively manage their mental health. Lovato has been a longtime advocate for mental wellness, as she has had to overcome her own mental health obstacles. Talkspace CEO Oren Frank said the company has "always admired her commitment and willingness to speak up." The partnership came on the heels of significant growth for the company as it doubled its year-over-year volume from the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, during which more than half of US citizens reported a decline in mental health. Lovato's work to spread awareness of Talkspace is also noteworthy considering two-thirds of individuals diagnosed with a mental health illness don't seek treatment.

Experienced senior executive Mark Hirschhorn has held CFO and COO roles for several companies in the technology and health care industries. As president and COO of Talkspace, he oversees the telebehavioral health company’s enterprise business, along with its mergers and acquisition strategy. In addition to his professional pursuits, Mark Hirschhorn is a supporter of the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation (NPCF).
Established in 1991, the NPCF has funded seed grants at several Florida hospitals as well as four Phase 1 clinical trials in its efforts to eradicate childhood cancer. It has accomplished this in part through support from fundraising partners like the Thorn Collection of Coldwell Banker Realty's Belleair & The Beaches office. Led by Martha Thorn, this group has raised in excess of $100,000 for the NPCF since 2014 through an annual lemonade stand fund-raiser. The 7th Annual Lemonade Stand event was held in September 2020 in Belleair Bluffs, Florida. Prospective donors can still contribute to the campaign to help organizers reach their goal of raising $50,000. Those who donate at least $100 receive a complimentary NPCF face mask.
