Mr. Witt is the Chief Customer Experience Officer at Jazz Pharmaceuticals, where he leads the global commercial organization’s evolution to deliver a seamless, differentiated patient and customer experience across all therapeutic areas.

Before Jazz, Mr. Witt spent nearly 20 years at Genentech, most recently as Senior Vice President of Genentech Business Operations, a 1,000-person organization spanning omnichannel and customer experience, AI and advanced analytics, and patient access and support. He led the company’s Integrated Customer Experience strategy, which delivered $700 million in portfolio revenue in 2024, and guided a multi-year transformation of Genentech’s U.S. organization. He previously held vice president roles in pipeline strategy and commercialization, access and distribution, and market analysis and strategy.

Earlier in his career, Mr. Witt spent four years at Pfizer in neuroscience new product development and three years in healthcare management consulting with Towers Perrin. He holds an MBA in marketing and strategic management from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and a BA in economics from Princeton University.

“After more than 25 years inside biopharma companies, I know firsthand how much depends on what happens between a prescription and a patient starting therapy,” said Mr. Witt. “I’ve seen how hard it is for commercial and patient services teams to act on access barriers they can’t see. Claritas Rx brings visibility to that part of the patient journey, along with the tools to resolve challenges before they disrupt care. I see tremendous potential for Claritas Rx solutions to power meaningful impact for biopharma customers and the patients they serve, and I’m excited to help guide the company’s next stage of growth.”

“Jonathan has spent his career building the kind of customer-centric, data-driven commercial organizations our clients are working toward every day,” said Michael Fitzgibbons, CEO of Claritas Rx. “His deep experience in patient access, omnichannel engagement, AI and analytics, and enterprise transformation will be invaluable as we continue to scale and deliver measurable results for rare disease and specialty brands and the patients they serve. We’re delighted to welcome him to our Board.”
