Health Catalyst Appoints Simeon Kohl as New CEO
Health Catalyst has appointed Simeon Kohl as its new chief executive officer, effective September 14. Kohl brings over two decades of healthcare operations experience and most recently led Performant Healthcare before it was sold for $670 million in late 2025. He succeeds Ben Albert, who will transition to the role of chief business officer after serving as CEO since February following Dan Burton's retirement. The leadership change occurs amid strategic shifts at Health Catalyst, including a focus on artificial intelligence and financial restructuring. In July, the company sold its revenue cycle unit Vitalware for $147 million to Med-Metrix in an effort to refocus resources. However, this move contributed to a 13% decline in second-quarter revenues compared to the previous year. Health Catalyst provides data analytics platforms used by over 1,100 healthcare organizations globally and is working through revenue challenges linked to recent sales and system migrations.
