Tivity Health Appoints Natasha Deckmann as CEO
Tivity Health names Natasha Deckmann CEO and former Aetna president Brian Kane as executive chairman, signaling a new chapter of leadership and growth
Tivity Health, the company behind several health and wellness platforms, including SilverSneakers, Prime Fitness, and WholeHealth Living, has appointed Natasha Deckmann as chief executive officer, elevating the former co-president and chief transformation officer to lead the company’s next phase of growth.
The move comes as former Aetna president Brian Kane joins the board as executive chairman.
Deckmann, who holds a dual M.D. and M.B.A. from Northwestern University and a B.S. in Economics from the University of Michigan, will focus on scaling Tivity’s product portfolio and customer base while driving top and bottom-line performance. She previously held leadership roles at SecureSeniorConnections, CarePoint Health System and Optum.
“I am thrilled to take on this role and look forward to building upon Tivity Health’s mission to help millions of adults live healthier and more active lives and to drive even more value for our clients, partners and members,” Deckmann said.
Caroline Khalil, who played an integral role in the company’s growth as both a public and private entity, will remain president and COO, continuing to oversee operations and working alongside Deckmann.
“I look forward to working closely with Natasha to continue to leverage the complementary strengths and experience of our leadership team to deliver positive impact for our members and our clients,” Khalil said.
Kane brings decades of healthcare and capital markets experience, including C-suite roles at Humana and a 17-year tenure at Goldman Sachs.
“It is an honor to join Tivity Health as executive chairman,” Kane said. “I have admired the company for many years, and I am excited about the great opportunities ahead for the organization. I very much look forward to engaging closely with Natasha, Caroline and the rest of the leadership team to help drive Tivity Health’s success.”
Stone Point Capital, which acquired Tivity Health in June 2022, backed the leadership transition.
“We are confident that Natasha and Caroline will continue to deliver strong results for Tivity’s customers and members, while driving the growth and expansion of the business,” Stone Point Capital co-CEO Chuck Davis said. “We are also excited to welcome Brian, a talented operator whom we have known for many years, to the Tivity Health Board.”
