Modivcare Announces Executive Leadership Transitions as Part of Strategic Business Model Evolution

May 05, 2025 at 06:30 AM EDT

Modivcare Inc. (Nasdaq: MODV), a technology-enabled healthcare services company that provides supportive care solutions to address the social determinants of health, today announced the planned departures of two members of its executive leadership team as the company continues to align its structure with its evolving business model and modernization strategy.

Barb Gutierrez, Chief Financial Officer, and Jessica Kral, Chief Information Officer, will be departing the company following a period of transition. Barb’s and Jessica’s departures come as Modivcare evolves its organizational structure in an effort to support the next phase of its modernization strategy—built on the financial and technology foundations they helped establish during their time with the company.

“We are grateful to Barb and Jessica for their leadership, dedication, and contributions to Modivcare,” said Heath Sampson, Chief Executive Officer of Modivcare. “Barb played a critical role in strengthening our financial strategy and capital structure amidst ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty, while Jessica’s leadership has been instrumental in the continuing modernization of the technology infrastructure that serves as the backbone of our operations. Both Barb and Jessica leave behind strong teams and we believe their efforts will have a lasting impact on the company.”

As Modivcare strives to advance its cost reduction and technology-driven integration efforts, the company has determined that it will not be replacing the CFO or CIO roles at this time. The company is confident that the experienced and capable teams already in place under both functions are well-positioned to support the next phase of Modivcare’s growth and modernization strategy.

“These decisions are part of a broader, structural shift in how we operate,” added Sampson. “We are working to flatten the organization and unlock greater speed and accountability as we embed automation, intelligent systems, and financial discipline across the business. We thank Barb and Jessica for their service and wish them continued success in their future endeavors.”
