HealthTap, a leading virtual healthcare provider in the U.S., announced that the company’s board of directors has appointed Sean Mehra as its new CEO and board member beginning June 28.
Mehra co-founded HealthTap more than 10 years ago and has served in various product and leadership roles, most recently as chief operating officer, focused on growth. He will succeed Bill Gossman, who will serve as the company’s lead director, and as an advisor to the executive team.
“It has been an incredible experience leading HealthTap as we’ve completed a pivot to focus on US-based virtual primary healthcare exclusively, while navigating unprecedented times in history and in healthcare,” Gossman said. “HealthTap is in a strong position, and I am excited to continue my involvement with the company and support Sean as he leads HealthTap into its next phase of growth.”
“I am tremendously grateful to Bill Gossman for his partnership over the years and look forward to working with him in a new capacity,” said Mehra. “As a driver of our product, strategy, and commercialization efforts since the company’s inception, I intimately understand the uniquely powerful suite of technology and operational capabilities we’ve developed. The COVID-19 pandemic catalyzed widespread consumer adoption of virtual care and highlighted the unmet need for improved access to primary care, independent of a major insurance provider or employer benefits. As consumers continue to embrace telehealth for its convenience and affordability, that demand will continue to grow for decades to come.”
Mehra holds an M.B.A. from Stanford Graduate School of Business and a B.S. (with Distinction) in Biomedical Engineering from Yale University. Prior to HealthTap, he was a serial technology entrepreneur with successful exits.
