Health and Insurance Veteran to Forge Strategic Partnerships
Performance Lab is excited to introduce Mark Agnew, our VP of Corporate Development.
Mark graduated with a degree in economics from Stanford University. His entire 30 plus year career has been in employee benefits and corporate health care, also with a focus in social media and digital health.
Mark began his career working for Aetna, a major player in the US healthcare marketplace. He then spent 20+ years in leadership roles with employee benefit and HR consulting firms including Watson Wyatt, Towers Perrin and Fidelity Consulting, an arm of Fidelity investments.
Pursuing Partnerships for the Arda Platform
Mark’s role at Performance Lab is to pursue partnerships for the Arda platform with insurance companies, health plans, wellness and chronic disease management companies; all of whom can all benefit by the application of the Arda platform to improve customer engagement, improve health outcomes and reduce costs.
Working closely with our CEO Waynne Dartnall, Mark is based in our San Francisco office with a focus on market development and partnerships. Why San Francisco? Silicon Valley really is the hub of digital health development, both in the United States and worldwide.
The market reception to date for the Arda technology has been tremendous and Mark has initiated some very exciting partnerships for Performance Lab. Watch this space for upcoming news!
Activity Plans Need to be Personal and Engaging
As reported by a recent industry study, activity tracking is the second fastest growing technology in the health and insurance space. But how can Arda differentiate itself in this space? How can we be better? Mark would argue that building endurance is personal. Getting healthier is likewise highly personal. Performance Lab knows and does personal activity plans better than anyone in the marketplace.
One thing that Mark’s very excited about is the blockchain foundation of the Arda platform because blockchain brings data security and privacy. And a token based ecosystem brings to the health and insurance marketplace tremendous opportunities in terms of incentives, rewards and consumer engagement.
Benefits of a Healthy Lifestyle
On a personal level, over a year ago Mark began a new indoor cycling regime that has made a major, positive impact in his life. He’s carrying 15 fewer pounds and two fewer inches on his waistline. He’s sleeping better and his chronically problematic lower back is now stronger than ever. Most importantly, he’s been able to eliminate a daily statin regimen as his cholesterol levels are now better than they’ve ever been in his adult lifetime. Through his role forging partnerships, Mark is excited to help millions of others enjoy a healthier lifestyle using the Arda technology.
