MINNEAPOLIS — Feb. 9, 2026 — DUOS, a leading AI-powered digital health platform transforming member activation and benefits execution, today announced that President & Chief Operating Officer Jenn Kerfoot has been named to Modern Healthcare's 2026 40 Under 40 list, one of the healthcare industry's most prestigious honors recognizing rising leaders who are reshaping the future of American healthcare.

The recognition follows Kerfoot's promotion to President & COO in October 2025—a role announced in conjunction with DUOS' $130 million strategic growth equity investment led by FTV Capital. Her elevation reflected not only her instrumental leadership in securing the landmark investment but also her vision for scaling DUOS' solution increasing access to support services—ensuring members don't just engage with their benefits, but actually use them.

"I'm deeply honored to stand alongside this year's 40 Under 40 honorees—leaders who refuse to accept the status quo and are reimagining what healthcare can be for the people who need it most," said Jenn Kerfoot. "For me, this recognition isn't just personal—it validates the work our entire team is doing to solve healthcare's final-mile problem and reflects a broader industry shift toward care that is genuinely human-centered, radically accessible, and uncompromisingly accountable. At DUOS, we're proving that when you combine cutting-edge AI with deep empathy and operational rigor, you can transform how members experience their benefits and how plans deliver measurable value. We're not just building for today's challenges, we're building the infrastructure health plans need for the future, for the members we serve now and for the version of this system we'll all inherit ourselves one day. This honor deepens my commitment to ensuring every person has the freedom, dignity, and control they deserve over their healthcare journey."

Modern Healthcare's 40 Under 40 award identifies healthcare's most influential young leaders—visionaries under 40 who are not only achieving exceptional financial, operational, and clinical outcomes but are fundamentally reshaping organizational culture and driving measurable innovation across the industry.

"Jenn embodies a rare combination of strategic vision, operational excellence, and genuine compassion that makes her an exceptional leader," said Karl Ulfers, CEO and Co-founder of DUOS. "Her ability to articulate our mission and translate complex healthcare challenges into human-centered solutions was instrumental in our partnership with FTV Capital and continues to drive our growth. She doesn't just talk about putting members first—it's the lens through which she makes every decision, builds every partnership, and challenges our team to reach higher. The leadership she's demonstrated in scaling our impact across Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, and ACA marketplace plans has been transformative for DUOS and, more importantly, for the thousands of people we serve. This recognition from Modern Healthcare is exceptionally well-deserved and reflects the caliber of leader defining the future of healthcare innovation."
