Chris McShanag: 30+ years of operational leadership.

I'm passionate about transforming the way healthcare and business operate. With more than 30 years of experience in operations and consulting, I built Virtual Teammate to bring measurable value — not commodity offshore labor — to every practice and every patient touchpoint.

Under Chris's leadership, Virtual Teammate has scaled from a boutique recruiter into a US-owned staffing partner with a global vetting network spanning the Philippines, Latin America, Africa, and South Asia. Every virtual teammate is multi-stage vetted, HIPAA-compliant before placement, and matched to your time zone and tech stack.

Our mission

Bringing a value-creation culture to every engagement.

Most outsourced staffing is sold on cost. We sell on outcome. Our mission is to connect high-performing virtual teammates with the practices and businesses that need them — and to measure success on cost savings, revenue growth, hours reclaimed, and patient experience improved.

  • Value, not just labor: every engagement is scoped against KPIs you choose.
  • HIPAA-first by default: certified, background-checked, BAA-compatible teammates only.
  • US time zone, your tools: matched to your hours, trained on your EHR/PMS.
  • Leadership accountability: a dedicated CSM owns every account.
Our core principles

Principles we hire on, and live by.

Positive energy

Fuels growth, productivity, and the kind of optimism that makes teams perform under pressure.

Edge & resiliency

A relentless spirit of possibility — people who push through hard problems, not around them.

Executing to win

Transparency and integrity at every level: material, emotional, and relational value, delivered.

Alignment of passion

The right teammate matched to the right client need, because mismatches are the #1 reason placements fail.

Value-creation leadership

Prioritize the team and the client equally — we win when both win.

Trust & ethical decisions

Keeping commitments with kindness and accountability, and principled decisions in every gray area.
