Gravie Names Steve Wolin Chief Executive Officer

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Gravie , one of the nation's fastest growing health benefits innovators, has named Steve Wolin as the company's new chief executive. Wolin succeeds Gravie Co-founder and CEO Abir Sen, who will continue as chairman of the board of directors. Prior to joining Gravie, Steve was the chief operating officer at Oscar Health."I'm incredibly excited for this opportunity to lead Gravie into the future as it continues to revolutionize the employer-sponsored health benefits market—especially for small and midsize firms whose unique challenges the industry has historically ignored," said Wolin. "Gravie has been on a remarkable growth trajectory with a three-year compound annual growth rate of more than 150%, while maintaining some of the best customer satisfaction scores I've ever seen in the employer space. In an industry dominated by a handful of players whose business models no longer support the needs of small and midsize firms, this is Gravie's time."Gravie's flagship health plan, known as Comfort®, is a level-funded product with zero premiums and zero deductibles on the most common healthcare services, like doctor's appointments, specialists, urgent care, generic drugs, and labs and imaging
