If you visit the HealthTap Blog regularly, you’re probably familiar with Sean Mehra (@seanmehra), our Co-Founder. Starting June 28, he’s our new CEO.

Sean co-founded HealthTap more than 10 years ago and has served in various product and leadership roles, most recently as chief operating officer focused on growth. He will succeed Bill Gossman, who will serve as our lead director and as an advisor to the executive team.

It has been an incredible experience leading HealthTap as we’ve completed a pivot to focus on U.S.-based virtual primary healthcare exclusively, while navigating unprecedented times in history and in healthcare. HealthTap is in a strong position, and I am excited to continue my involvement with the company and support Sean as he leads HealthTap into its next phase of growth. - Bill Gossman, Lead Director of HealthTap

It’s been a busy year for us:

• We expanded HealthTap’s features to fulfill our mission of putting an affordable, quality personal care physician at every American’s fingertips — with or without insurance.
• In March 2020, during the highly uncertain early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, we offered free virtual care visits to anyone in the U.S.
• Recently, we introduced virtual primary care to better serve the 82 million Americans who lack a personal care physician.
• Each month, we serve a growing customer base of 2 million people seeking doctor answers and who could be best served by establishing an ongoing relationship with a personal care physician.
• Already 15% of our virtual visits take place in our virtual primary care clinic, where physicians establish long-term doctor-patient relationships.

As a driver of our product, strategy, and commercialization efforts since the company’s inception, Sean intimately understands the powerful suite of technology and operational capabilities and expertise we’ve uniquely developed, and he can help apply these towards our next chapter of focused and rapid growth.

“The COVID-19 pandemic led to widespread adoption of virtual care and highlighted the unmet need for improved access to primary care for people who don’t carry insurance or have employer benefits,” Sean said. “As people continue to embrace telehealth for its convenience and affordability, that demand will continue to grow for decades to come.”

Sean holds an M.B.A. from Stanford Graduate School of Business and a B.S. (with Distinction) in Biomedical Engineering from Yale University. Prior to HealthTap, he was a serial technology entrepreneur.

We’re excited to have him lead the charge in making sure all Americans have access to the high-quality, affordable primary care they deserve.
