Henderson was appointed the American Diabetes Association’s permanent CEO in May 2022, having previously served as interim CEO for six months. He joined ADA in 2020 as chief development officer and previously was president and CEO of Champion Fire & Security, a Texas-based emergency services company. He also worked for MTV Networks in content and TM Advertising in business development.

In 2022, Henderson joined angel investor StartUp Health’s Health Moonshot Impact Board, which advises the venture capital firm on its funding of health care innovations, including Type 1 diabetes treatments.

One of Henderson’s main areas of focus has been addressing health disparities and systemic inequities for people living with diabetes. In partnership with the Patient Advocate Foundation, he was instrumental in the sponsorship and creation of a copay relief fund for people living with diabetes. The fund provides financial assistance for copays, deductibles and coinsurance to people who meet eligibility requirements.

Henderson earned a bachelor’s degree from Texas A&M University, where he also played basketball.
