Jean, Christine, and Sandra will be instrumental in expanding MOBE’s solutions coast to coast, and in turn, expanding the reach and availability of value-based wellness.”
Coming on the heels of other recent moves underscoring MOBE’s growth momentum, including the hires of Vance-Rodrigues and Von Miles to MOBE’s growing C-suite of health benefits innovators, these three hires reflect an expansion of MOBE’s commercial team leadership.

The report found that more than half (53%) of HR decision-makers plan to expand their health and wellness benefits in 2022. Since its founding, MOBE has reached more than 100,000 people with personalized health guidance and saved $140 million of spend within the health system.
