Former Aetna Inc. chief executive Mark Bertolini will take over as the CEO of Oscar Health Inc. OSCR, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday. Bertolini will take over from co-founder Mario Schlosser, who will stay on with the health insurer in the new role of president of technology. Bertolini will aim to guide Oscar toward its target of having a profitable insurance business in 2023 and reaching profitability for the full company in 2024. Oscar didn’t immediately respond to a MarketWatch request for comment on the CEO change. The WSJ report noted that Bertolini sold Aetna to CVS Health Inc. in 2018 and became co-CEO of Bridgewater Associates in early 2022 with the goal of serving a limited stint there.
