Simeon is a proven leader, who is rewriting the narrative for health care, starting in New York and New Jersey. “Health care today is broken. No one is satisfied. Prices are rising, and quality is slipping. Someone has to change the future, so why not let Create set the course.” His relentless drive and unrivalled passion to make health care work better for ALL are what keeps him running ahead of the pack. He came to Create with one mission in mind— better quality health care for ALL at a price people and companies can afford.

Under his watch, the company experienced significant growth – revenue grew by 8x and the consumer base quadrupled. Simeon has held numerous other leadership positions in the health care industry, such as SVP of Medica HealthCare and SVP of UnitedHealth Group.
