A Seasoned Leader Takes the Helm

Pete McCabe brings over 25 years of experience from General Electric, including 12 years with GE Healthcare. His most recent role was as CEO of Datavant, a health data platform company, where he successfully guided the company through a transformative merger with Ciox. “I am thrilled to become more immersed in Personify Health’s operations and lead this dynamic company into its next phase of growth,” McCabe said. “With a focus on innovation and a commitment to delivering exceptional value to our clients and members, I am confident that we will continue to drive significant change in the healthcare industry.”

Michalak will discuss how the industry’s first personalized health platform drives better health outcomes and cost savings. “Our relentless efforts and strategic investments over the past year have firmly established Personify as the most innovative and comprehensive health platform on the market,” Michalak stated. “I am looking forward to Personify’s next chapter, working alongside Pete.”

Tackling $36 Billion in Wasted Health Benefits

With more than $36 billion wasted on unused and misused health benefits, Personify Health positions itself to effect meaningful change in employer-sponsored healthcare.

This approach helps employers lower healthcare spending by up to 23% and improves employee health experiences with over 50% member engagement.

Celebrating a Milestone Merger

Personify Health recently marked its first anniversary following the November 2023 merger of Virgin Pulse and HealthComp. This union has allowed the company to offer comprehensive solutions that bring together holistic wellbeing, care navigation, and flexible health plan administration. “Personify Health is steadfastly enhancing the entire health experience, from clinical to cost, and beyond,” Michalak emphasized.

Looking Ahead
