\nFormer Optum exec Mike Ott and health start-up pioneer Kurt Cegielski to drive growth in payer, employer markets for unique MOBE offerings<\/i>\n<\/p>\n

MINNEAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–MOBE<\/a>, a health outcomes company focused on improving peoples\u2019 health while reducing healthcare costs, today announced the appointments of Mike Ott as Chief Executive Officer and Kurt Cegielski as Chief Commercial Officer\u2014Health Plans. <\/i>Together, Ott and Cegielski join Chris Cronin, CEO\u2013Employers, to lead the company forward on its mission to guide people to better health and more happiness, while reducing health system burden and creating substantial savings for customers.\n<\/p>\n

<\/a>
<\/a><\/p>\n

\nBy combining data and analytics, MOBE identifies individuals whose health needs are increasing while their health is not improving. MOBE Health Guides and Pharmacists work one-to-one with people producing better health outcomes, and as a result, reduce costs to the healthcare system.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cMOBE was founded to solve a long-standing public health problem\u2014how do we bridge the gap between the doctor\u2019s office and real life? It\u2019s a challenge that requires a deep understanding of people and our complex health systems. Solving for this requires passion, creativity, and full commitment to our mission. This is exactly what Mike and Kurt are driven to accomplish,\u201d said Mark Evenstad, Founder and Chairman of MOBE. \u201cAs senior executives in the payer sector and in health start-up environments, Mike and Kurt align perfectly with our mission, and are poised to enable MOBE to serve even more people who are trying to get healthier\u2014while helping reduce the financial burden on our health system, employers, and society.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nWith more than 20 years\u2019 experience across financial management, strategic partnerships and business innovation, Ott will lead MOBE in its next stages of growth. Currently, Ott also serves as a Senior Advisor\u2013Special Government Employee in the Defense Innovation Unit, drawing upon his experience with growing businesses. Previously, he served as President and Chief Investment Officer for Optum Financial, part of UnitedHealth Group. Prior to joining Optum, Ott spent seven years as President of U.S. Bank\u2019s Wealth Management division. Ott also served as a Military Advisor and Colonel in the U.S. Air Force Reserves, where he led the integrated strategy of Minnesota National Guard’s cyber capabilities in coordination with national organizations and agencies.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cI was drawn to MOBE because I believe in the impact this company can make on people\u2019s lives, and the improvement it can make to our health system. MOBE has already removed over $200 million of unnecessary spend from the healthcare system\u2014and the team has laid an incredible foundation for those who want to get healthier. Now it\u2019s time to accelerate,\u201d said Ott.\n<\/p>\n

\nJoining Ott in the C-Suite, Kurt Cegielski will be responsible for MOBE\u2019s health plan customers. With more than two decades of health industry experience, Cegielski has a track record of engaging consumers and securing better outcomes. Most recently, at Icario, Cegielski used behavioral research and data science to encourage people to take action for better health. Prior to Icario, Cegielski was a founder of RedBrick Health, now Virgin Pulse, and worked for more than 12 years on technology innovation and deep consumer insight to reinvent the health and wellness category.\n<\/p>\n

\nSimilar to Ott, Cegielski was attracted by MOBE\u2019s solution to pressing healthcare problems. \u201cAs someone who has spent their career in the health plan sector, I know how unique, and how needed, MOBE truly is. I\u2019m excited to help payers identify members who are trying to get healthier but need more support, and engage them in a profoundly human way that lowers cost of care,\u201d said Cegielski.\n<\/p>\n

\nFounded in 2014, MOBE was created by pharmaceutical experts who aspired to help people reach optimal health outcomes not achieved by traditional, volume-based medication approaches. By combining data science and machine learning with authentic human connection, MOBE supports a whole-person approach to health\u2014focusing on nutrition, sleep, movement, medication, and happiness. MOBE serves large payer systems and self-insured employers to help their populations achieve better health through industry-leading engagement, while reducing costs.\n<\/p>\n
