Simeon Kohl Takes Helm at Health Catalyst

Kohl replaces Ben Albert, who has served as chief executive officer since February. Under the transition plan, Albert will vacate his seat on the board on Sept. 13 and shift his focus to the company’s commercial strategy in the role of chief business officer. This leadership shuffle arrives shortly after Kohl’s previous firm, Performant Healthcare, was absorbed by Machinify.

Health Catalyst confirmed the board appointment Tuesday, signaling a strategic pivot in its executive management. By moving Albert into a business-focused role, the company aims to retain his institutional knowledge while handing the reins of corporate governance and growth to Kohl.
