- Gary Lauer is "transitioning out" as eHealth's (NASDAQ:EHTH) chairman and CEO. He'll remain with the company in an advisory role until year's end.
- Scott Flanders, a director since 2008 and previously the CEO of Playboy Enterprises, Freedom Communications, and Columbia House, is eHealth's new CEO. Ellen Tauscher, a director since 2012 and a former 7-term member of Congress, has been named non-executive chairman.
- Tauscher: "We believe that Scott's decades of executive leadership experience, in addition to his expertise in direct-to-consumer markets and track record of overseeing significant growth, will allow him to seamlessly transition into the role of eHealth's CEO. Scott is the right leader to guide eHealth as we build on our positive momentum and strengthen our position as the leader in online health insurance."
