OneDigital Announces Two New Vice Presidents to Support Acquisition Growth

John Carew and Rob Richards Join the Corporate Development Team

ATLANTA, GA – November 20, 2019 – OneDigital Health and Benefits, the nation’s largest company focused exclusively on employee benefits and HR, today announced the appointment of both John Carew and Rob Richards as Vice President of Corporate Development. Carew and Richards will support the rapidly growing acquisitions division of OneDigital, as the company expands into both additional geographic markets and adjacent businesses and solutions.

Carew is a seasoned leader who has spent his entire career in the healthcare, insurance and employee benefits space was a founding partner of Ovation Benefits, which was eventually acquired by OneDigital in 2013. Most recently, he served as Director of Sales Springbuk, a claims analytics and health intelligence provider, and President of Karelia Health, a worksite wellness provider. Carew’s depth of perspective on emerging trends in the employee benefits arena will be critical to continuing OneDigital’s strategic alignment with top agency teams around the country.

Richards brings over 15 years of operations, financial, sales and mergers & acquisitions consulting experience to OneDigital, most recently serving as a consultant at MarshBerry, a specialized management-consulting firm. Prior to that, Richards served as a business analyst for Cohen Financial, a division of SunTrust Bank. His understanding of the competition and deal structures in a rapidly consolidating marketplace will provide expanded creativity to OneDigital’s ability to grow via acquisition.

“This is an exciting time for OneDigital as we come off the strongest year in our history and head into 2020 with significant momentum. The addition of John and Rob to our corporate acquisition team will help us meet market demand for our industry-leading benefits capabilities. An increasing number of firms understand how OneDigital’s culture and technology advantage will reshape the industry downstream. We’re excited to leverage John and Rob’s strategic thinking as we launch into the next chapter of our journey.”
