Mr. Boyd continued, “Mario and Josh built Oscar with the intention of changing the healthcare insurance industry, and, under Mario’s leadership, Oscar has been successful in driving that vision forward. Mario is a disruptive leader who, in his new role, will continue to push the company to think creatively about how technology can change healthcare in the U.S.”
