CodeBaby Customer Wins John J. Robbins Sr. Memorial CEO Leadership Award for Vision and Exemplary Leadership

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Nov. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- CodeBaby, a leading interactive virtual assistant (IVA) and consumer engagement company, today announced that one of their strategic customers, CareFirst Blue Cross Blue Shield's CEO, Chet Burrell, was awarded the high honor of the John J. Robbins Sr., Memorial CEO Leadership Award by the Institute of Health Care Consumerism.

John J. Robbins Sr. was a true visionary who guided his company to many groundbreaking firsts.  He believed firmly that consumers ultimately knew best how to spend their health care dollars, and lead DataPath to become among the first to create systems for the administration of FSAs, MERPs, HRAs, and Commuter benefits while pioneering the use of debit cards and ACH process to streamline payment processes.

Said Charles Robbins, "My father's commitment to consumerism lives on in the efforts of professionals like Chet, who has proven his commitment to containing health care costs in both the public and private sectors. The fight to contain costs continues, and those of us in the fight are buoyed by the presence of such committed partners." 

"This is our most prestigious award, and we were thrilled to see so many nominations," says Doug Field, CEO of Institute of Health Care Consumerism and FieldMedia, LLC.  "While there were many viable contenders, it was our honor to award this to Mr. Burrell as an innovator and a demonstrated respected leader within his industry, company, community and life."

"It was an honor to have nominated Mr. Burrell for this award, as we have both witnessed, and participated in the continuing execution of his vision and leadership," says Dennis McGuire, CEO of CodeBaby."
