Our management
Micah Bongberg—President & Chief Executive Officer
Mr. Bongberg, having joined Annuvia while the firm was still in a developmental stage, began in an operational capacity overseeing internal processes, financial-related elements, and creation and development of systems to support the firm’s enormous growth rate. Mr. Bongberg has since taken on the responsibility for the organization’s revenue generation and new program development. Currently, he spends his day-to-day focus on forming, building, and integrating sustainable and scalable solutions for the firm’s largest clients on a national scale.
Prior to coming to Annuvia Mr. Bongberg worked as the interim Portfolio Manager for the for-profit real estate developer BRIDGE Urban Infill Land Development, LLC (BUILD) – a subsidiary of BRIDGE Housing Corporation and the California Public Employee Retirement System (CalPERS), California’s largest nonprofit real estate developer and the nation’s largest pension fund, respectively. In that capacity, he managed a $50 million line of credit with Comerica Bank and a $175 million portfolio of equity. Additionally, Mr. Bongberg oversaw and managed several of the firm’s real estate acquisitions and development projects. These experiences provided Mr. Bongberg with valuable financial, economic and small business knowledge which he brings to the daily operations of Annuvia.
Mr. Bongberg received a BA degree from the University of California at Santa Barbara in Business Economics. While an undergrad, he was active in numerous professional organizations including the Business Economics Association, the Accounting Association, and the Center for Engineering and Entrepreneurial Management.
William D. Evers—Chair and General Counsel
Mr. Evers’ involvement with Annuvia is fortuitous in that it allows him to combine both ends of the health spectrum; those of life and death issues and workplace fitness. He has been involved in personal healthcare and quality of life partnerships in a variety of forms for more than 30 years. His major impetus and driving force is that of promoting both a healthy physical environment and the internal quality of life that forms the basis of fitness.
Mr. Evers is a highly respected Bay Area native with extensive experience in the area of fitness and the role wellness plays in a productive life. He began the How Healthy Centers in an attempt to help people become aware of their personal fitness levels, a gap often unaddressed by a typical medical physical examination. Recognizing that approximately 4% of the workforce incurs nearly 20% of the health care costs, Mr. Evers has as a primary goal to teach lifestyle and behavioral changes that promote wellness. It is a natural corollary for him to partner his extensive skills and business acumen with Annuvia’s focus on workplace readiness and safety. Additionally, he has practiced corporate and securities law for over forty years and was the managing partner of Petit, Evers & Martin for twelve years. He founded the California Capital Access Forum and has promoted numerous seminars on financing young companies and start-up organizations. Mr. Evers was a member of the SEC Task Force on Small Business Capital Formation and the co-founder of the Alpine Meadows of Tahoe, Inc. and Boreal Ridge ski areas. He served as President on the Mayor’s office of Economic Development for San Francisco (1975-1978) and retired from the practice of law as a partner of Foley & Lardner, specializing in corporate and securities practice.
Mr. Evers received his BA from Yale University and his J.D. from the University of California at Berkeley.
