Empeon has appointed Chris Capko as Chief Revenue Officer, bringing more than three decades of sales experience to the healthcare HR software company. Capko arrives from K1X after a steady rise through its senior sales ranks, and the career also includes 18 years at ADP.

A Track Record In Sales

At K1X, Capko held three roles in three years, advancing from SVP of Sales in 2023 to Chief Sales Officer and then to Chief Revenue Officer in 2026. That progression followed time at Smartlinx, where Capko served as Vice President North America Enterprise Sales before stepping up to Chief Sales Officer.

The foundation was built at ADP, where Capko spent 18 years, according to Crustdata people data, with senior posts including Vice President of Sales and Vice President Global Enterprise Private Equity. The career also spans eight years at MarineMax, and Capko holds a BA from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey-New Brunswick.

Empeon builds HCM software for healthcare employers, pairing HR automation for skilled nursing, home health and other long term care providers with white-glove implementation and attentive customer service. The platform supports recruiting and retention, onboarding, real-time caregiver shift management and compliance.

Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Suffern, New York, the privately held company employs 111 people, up 16.8% over 12 months, Crustdata company data shows. Engineering headcount climbed 70% over the same period, while Program and Project Management grew 100%.

New York City Metropolitan Area

Capko is based in the New York City Metropolitan Area, where 47 Empeon employees work. The company has 105 people across the United States, including 25 each in New Jersey and New York.
