SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Castlight Health, Inc. (NYSE: CSLT) today announced
the addition of Brian Marcotte,
former President and CEO, Business Group on Health, as a new
strategic advisor.
"We are thrilled to welcome Brian to Castlight as one of our
latest strategic advisors," said Maeve
O'Meara, Chief Executive Officer of Castlight Health. "Brian
is one of the most innovative business leaders in the industry, and
his expertise will help us build on recent momentum and accelerate
growth."
Marcotte brings to Castlight decades of executive leadership and
employer benefits experience. As strategic advisor, he will play a
critical role in supporting Castlight to achieve near-term
objectives, as well as shape the company's longer-term vision.
"Castlight is already a respected leader in healthcare
navigation, having pioneered the use of technology to simplify
healthcare and earning the confidence of some of the nation's top
employers and health plans in the process," said Marcotte. "I look
forward to working with the Castlight team to bring even greater
value to existing customers and execute on the company's unique
position to provide more Americans with easy, affordable access to
the widest range of health solutions."
The move follows several months of significant momentum for the
company. Since the start of the pandemic earlier this year,
Castlight has served a critical role in supporting health plans and
large employers with best-in-class digital technology and
high-touch navigation services:
- Following on the success of the Anthem extension last year,
Castlight is quickly gaining traction in the health plan market to
enable a more personalized, integrated member experience. The
company recently signed an additional national health plan that
goes into effect January 1,
2021.
- Castlight Care Guides, a unique high-tough, clinician-led
concierge service, continues to gain momentum. The company signed
its flagship Care Guides customer, with growing interest among
health plans and large employers for compassionate, high-touch
services to complement the company's leading digital navigation
platform.
- Castlight was the first provider of a free, comprehensive
national COVID-19 testing site directory, which powers testing site
directories for close to a dozen state health departments including
the New York State Department of
Health; companies like Ford Motor Company; and its data is
integrated into Google.
- To help support customers during COVID-19, the company also
launched a new solution in recent weeks. Working Well supports safe
workforce and higher education re-entry with a localized, easily
configurable navigation tool that supports evolving clinical
protocols. This solution leverages Castlight's industry-leading
navigation platform and integrates a full slate of health tools to
maintain compliance with regulations while directing populations to
the best available resources.
