SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Castlight Health,
Inc. (NYSE: CSLT), a leader in healthcare navigation, announced
today the addition of Ethan Prater
as chief product and analytics officer. Prater brings decades of
digital health and product management experience to further
strengthen and elevate Castlight's industry-leading digital plus
high-touch navigation solutions.
Employers and health plans continue to grapple with increased
fragmentation as a result of myriad point solutions and decreasing
utilization of primary care. Both employers and health plans have
an opportunity to help members more seamlessly navigate their
healthcare journey and connect with high-value care like never
before. As such, Prater will lead the product vision for
Castlight's unique health navigation solution to help these
partners continue to impactfully engage their members. Prater will
also play a key role in leveraging Castlight's wealth of data to
drive broader product innovation across the ecosystem.
"Castlight's longevity, stability, and resulting customer base
lead to an analytics set that is the envy of most digital health
startups," said Prater. "My aim is to execute on Castlight's
promise of building on these data to continue connecting the right
people with the right care, but on an even broader scale."
This announcement marks Prater's second engagement at Castlight,
where he worked from 2010 to 2013 and established the company's
first product management, design, product marketing, and user
growth/engagement teams. Prater joins Castlight Health from
Alchemist Accelerator, where he was managing director, Europe, and served as chair for the digital
health track.
"I am thrilled Ethan chose to re-join Castlight to lead our
product organization," said Maeve
O'Meara, chief executive officer of Castlight Health. "He
played a critical role in building Castlight's market-leading
transparency capabilities previously and has demonstrated deep
connection to our company's mission. I look forward to seeing the
impact of Ethan's vision and leadership on our industry-leading
health navigation platform and future product offerings."
