An insurance distributor that benefits from problems with Affordable Care Act major medical coverage programs has shaken up its leadership team.
The board of Tampa, Florida-based Health Insurance Innovations has picked Paul Gabos to be the company’s new chairman, and Gavin Southwell to be the company’s chief executive officer.
Gabos succeeds Michael Kosloske, the company founder. Kosloske will continue to be a director, and he will take the post of chief of product innovation, the company says.
Gabos previously was chief financial officer of Clearwater, Florida-based Lincare Holdings, a home health care company, until the company was acquired. Before Gabos began to work for Lincare, he was a mergers and acquisitions specialist at Dean Witter Reynolds.
Southwell, who became Health Insurance Innovations’ president in July, will succeed Patrick McNamee as the company’s chief executive officer.
