His appointment reflects RxBenefits' continued focus on helping benefits advisors and self-funded employers manage pharmacy benefits costs through stronger technology, deeper data insights, and innovation while providing exceptional member care.

Kessler brings more than 20 years of leadership across healthcare operations, product, information technology, and project management. He joins RxBenefits from TurningPoint Healthcare Solutions, where he served as Chief Operating Officer and previously held senior operations and technology leadership roles. He also served as CIO for Humana's Medicaid, CarePlus, and Puerto Rico businesses, and held leadership positions at Ascension and Express Scripts spanning product, software engineering, pharmacy systems, digital, data, and operations.

By welcoming him as President, we're strengthening our promise to help advisors and employers make smarter decisions, respond to change faster, and set a new direction for innovation. "

With pharmacy benefits growing more complex, advisors and employers need timely information, clear reporting and technology that helps them act with confidence.
