Here are three points:
1. Most recently, Mr. Decker served as CEO at HealthSparq, where he helped create a cloud-based shopping/transparency platform for healthcare consumers.
2. He replaces current CEO and Founder Randy Parker, who will assume the position of chief business development officer. Mr. Parker will continue to serve on the board of directors.
3. MDLive offers round-the-clock, all-year access to its network of board-certified physicians and licensed therapists via secure online video and telephone.
"We are on the cusp of a technology-enabled consumer revolution in healthcare not dissimilar to what has been experienced in retail, travel and banking. I was immediately impressed by the vision, technology platform, partnerships and team that Randy has assembled at MDLIVE," said Mr. Decker in a statement. "Having the opportunity to jump into the middle of this incredible growth story and help the team evolve to the next level was something that I couldn't pass up."
