Panacea Financial Holdings Inc., a Little Rock fintech firm that provides financial services to physicians, dentists and veterinarians, announced the addition of two executives as it continues to scale its platform.
Anna Khayet was named chief marketing officer and Robin Garrison was hired as chief compliance officer.
Khayet joins Panacea from senior marketing roles at SoFi and Google, where she led brand building, performance marketing and customer acquisition at scale.
Garrison brings experience building and scaling compliance programs in fintech environments, including leading U.S. regulatory efforts at London-based fintech Wise, formerly known as TransferWise.
Panacea is led by CEO and co-founder Tyler Stafford; President and co-founder Dr. Michael Jerkins and Chief Operating Officer and co-founder Dr. Ned Palmer.
The company offers lending, banking, payments and advisory tools to doctors across their careers, from medical school and residency through practice ownership. The company aims to replace fragmented point solutions with a single financial operating system.
Panacea said it handles more than $1.5 billion in annual transactions and nearly $1 billion in loan originations. The lender has exclusive partnerships with leading medical associations representing more than 500,000 physicians, dentists and veterinarians in the U.S.
“Panacea has built something rare — a financial platform that genuinely understands doctors and has earned their trust,” Khayet said in a news release. “I’m excited to help tell that story to doctors across the country and build a brand that serves them throughout their careers.”
Panacea also announced the hiring of Tal Frank as head of student financial services. He’s the former president of specialty loan provider PhysicianLoans of Columbus, Ohio, which was acquired by Huntington National bank in 2022.
Panacea’s Series B funding round had grown to $62 million in July 2025.
