2023年11月9日 - 9:01PM
Sharecare (Nasdaq: SHCR), the digital health company that helps
people manage all their health in one place, today announced, in
conjunction with its third quarter 2023 financial results, that
healthcare industry veteran and board member Brent Layton will
succeed Jeff Arnold as CEO. Formerly president and chief operating
officer of Centene Corporation, Layton will assume the CEO role at
Sharecare on January 2, 2024, and remain on the board. Arnold will
transition to the role of executive chairman at that time,
remaining active in the business day-to-day and working closely
with Brent, focusing on driving the overall strategy of the
company, product innovation, addressing market needs with next
generation technology such as generative AI, and supporting
strategic growth opportunities.
Arnold founded Sharecare with the goal of building a digital
platform focused on improving health outcomes for people, no matter
where they are in their personal well-being journeys. Today,
Sharecare is the platform of choice for some of the country’s most
notable employers and health plans, providing benefits navigation,
comprehensive care, and proven health and well-being solutions to
more than 12 million eligible lives.
Layton, who was appointed to the Sharecare board in January of
this year, brings more than 30 years of healthcare and public
policy experience, with expertise building, scaling, and operating
businesses focused on government-funded programs, including
Medicare, Medicaid, and the Health Insurance Marketplace.
“Following a deliberate effort to augment our long-term
leadership strategy to capitalize on the untapped market
opportunities before us, the board and I are delighted that Brent
has agreed to become our next CEO,” said Arnold. “Having known
Brent for many years, I have witnessed first-hand the effectiveness
of his leadership, as well as his proven track record of success in
the highly regulated and fragmented healthcare industry. I am
looking forward to combining Brent’s expertise in driving growth at
scale within large, government-funded programs and value-based
contracts with my extensive experience in digital health, product
innovation, and M&A as we continue to deliver enhanced value
for Sharecare’s users, customers, and shareholders.”
Layton served in many roles and capacities at Centene in his
more than two decades at the company. This included serving as
chief business development officer, during which time the company
scaled from three to 31 health plans, becoming the nation’s largest
Medicaid managed care company. He oversaw many divisions and
products, including provider contracting where he led Centene into
value-based care. As president and COO of Centene, Layton also
oversaw Ambetter, the nation’s largest health insurance exchange
provider and WellCare, the nation’s sixth largest Medicare
Advantage company. Layton announced his retirement from Centene in
late 2022 and stayed with the company as Senior Advisor to the CEO.
Centene grew annual revenues from roughly $300 million to $144
billion during his tenure.
“I have long admired what Jeff and team have built at Sharecare,
especially its innovation in leveraging data and digitization to
improve health outcomes for the diversity of populations it
serves,” said Layton. “As healthcare is quickly evolving, Sharecare
is uniquely positioned thanks to its robust platform and adaptive
technology that empowers people to navigate and activate the care
they need to take control of their health. I have high enthusiasm
for where Sharecare sits today and where it will be tomorrow and
believe the opportunities for profitable growth are strong.”
Layton added, “Together, Jeff and I also see tremendous
opportunities to further expand Sharecare’s relationships and
partners to make an even bigger impact, and I look forward to
combining his ability to innovate and leverage technology to solve
complex problems on behalf of all stakeholders with my experience
to foster sustainable, long-term growth for the company.”
