Meet Kristina Crane
25 Years Building What Most People Only Advise On
Kristina took a $2 billion government market dominated by on-premise systems and transformed it into a SaaS success story — delivering 10x revenue growth, 289x EBITDA expansion, and securing partnerships with Walmart, Amazon, Walgreens, and CVS. That's the kind of transformation she specializes in.
As Founder & CEO of The Canyons Group and operating partner at Orchid Black, she helps organizations convert underperforming operations into profitable, recurring-revenue engines. She spent 12+ years at STChealth leading its evolution from legacy healthcare tech to modern platform — building and managing global teams across Product Management and Data Science in the US, Canada, Europe, and India.
She's also founded KL Crane, a strategic consulting practice, and co-founded Health-E-Well, a corporate wellness platform. Decades across healthcare technology, government contracting, and enterprise software — pioneering AI-driven operational transformations.
