Jack Stoddard

Prior to joining Haven, Stoddard worked at Accolade, a health-technology start-up, and at Comcast, the parent company of CNBC. He said the the frequent travel to Boston — five hours by car and around 90 minutes by air each way — was taking him away from his family. Previously, Stoddard was part of the executive team that created Optum, which was later acquired by UnitedHealth. According to court testimony, Stoddard indicated that Haven planned to make health care easier to understand, less expensive and ideally produce better outcomes for employees, which could be a competitive threat to incumbents.
