A mountain ridge above the clouds

About / Kevin Plumlee × RVNOPS

I’ve actually run the companies I advise.

Fifteen years doing healthcare growth with my own hands. Now I advise the teams who do it, and stay until they own it.

The operating record

The numbers behind it.

These come from building teams, running real growth systems, and staying on the hook through delivery. Not from a framework I put together for a slide.

    Healthcare marketing, technology, and operations. Mostly all three at once.

  2. 80+Peak team size

    Built Dreamscape Marketing from two people to more than 80.

    Behavioral health, hospital systems, senior living, dental, and specialty care.

  4. $500M+Managed media

    Media spend managed and optimized across healthcare accounts.

  5. 2Private equity exits

    Sold Dreamscape to SPM Group, then Unlock Health bought SPM.

  6. 12Companies integrated

    Four in the first merger, eight in the second. I connected the systems both times.

The background

I learned this from the inside.

I’ve spent more than 15 years in healthcare growth, technology, and operations. I co-founded Dreamscape Marketing in 2014 with no outside money and grew it from two people to more than 80, serving more than 300 healthcare organizations. It became the largest behavioral health marketing agency in the country.

We sold to SPM Group, and I led the merge of IT systems, marketing platforms, and products across four companies. Then Unlock Health bought SPM and folded eight companies into one. I was in the middle of that integration too, and ran performance marketing for enterprise health systems until 2026. I remain a shareholder.

Today I am Principal AI Systems Architect at RVK AI, the admissions operating system for healthcare. I lead Web Navigator, its web chat product, and work across the voice and chat agents and internal tools. HIPAA compliant agents answer admissions calls and website chats 24/7 for treatment centers, senior living, ABA, psych, and outpatient.

I also founded and lead RVNOPS, the healthcare growth consulting firm I started in 2026. I advise leadership teams across marketing, intake, technology, AI, data, and finance. I don’t run your campaigns or build your systems. Your team does that work and keeps it. I am a partner in Behavioral Rates and the founder of Dental Practice Consulting AI, a 24/7 AI consultant for dental practices.

Most growth problems are system problems. A bad marketing number is usually where a deeper operating problem finally shows up. My job is to find it, make it obvious, and help your team fix how the business runs. Then the technology has something worth speeding up.

The hands-on years

I did this work myself.

Before I advised anyone, I ran the campaigns, wrote the code, and owned the budget. That’s the record the advice comes from.

Stalled growth, spend you can’t trace, systems that fight your team. That’s a good place to start.
