Former UnitedHealth Group Executive to Help Lead Growth in Health Plan and Provider Markets
April 12, 2022 — Icario, the healthcare industry’s largest health action company, today announced it has named Troy Jelinek chief commercial officer, a new senior executive position reporting to chief executive officer Steve Wigginton. Jelinek was most recently on the executive leadership team and chief client officer at RubiconMD. At Icario, he will help drive growth in both the health plan and provider markets.
“Troy brings a unique combination of experiences to the Icario team, having worked extensively with solutions that solve the challenges of healthcare payers and providers,” said Wigginton. “His wealth of relationships across the industry and understanding of our client’s needs will help our team to increase our value in the marketplace.”
“Icario’s mission of making the world a healthier place one person at a time is a perfect fit for me,” Jelinek said. “Getting members to take health actions that benefit their health, as well as the financial performance of the health plan, is one of the biggest challenges payers face.
