Healthcare Consumerism Leader Joins Team Alegeus

Alegeus, the market leader in consumer directed healthcare (CDH) solutions, today announced that healthcare consumerism veteran and industry thought leader, John Young, will join the company as Senior Vice President of Consumerism & Strategy. In this role, Young will drive strategic initiatives to expand the company’s leadership position, and will continue to differentiate the company’s platform and capabilities to help consumers maximize savings and optimize spending for their healthcare.

“John is an expert in all things consumer driven healthcare,” said Steven Auerbach, Alegeus CEO. “He will use his extensive experience to create, communicate, and execute strategic initiatives that will strengthen our market position and accelerate our next phase of growth. We are confident that Young’s leadership will keep Alegeus at the forefront of the healthcare consumerism movement.”

Young has been an active member of the employee benefits industry for more than three decades and has spent the last sixteen years as a devoted champion for healthcare consumerism – most recently through his own consultancy, ConsumerDriven. Prior to that, Young also served as Senior Vice President of Consumerism for Cigna Healthcare, and he currently advocates for consumer driven healthcare alongside the HSA Council of the American Banking Association.

“With my background in healthcare consumerism, I’ve been familiar with Alegeus since its early days,” said Young. “It is clear that Alegeus is an innovative company that is helping to reshape the healthcare experience for consumers. With its market-leading benefit account platform, strong leadership, and the tremendous market opportunity, it is an exciting time to join this winning team.”

It also provides engagement tools to empower consumers with meaningful support at critical “moments of truth” in their healthcare journey, helping them optimize their healthcare spending and maximize their healthcare savings.
