Carl has radically changed his career direction four times. Each pivot was ignited by the passion, energy, and focus triggered by the feeling he was on the right path. Near the end of his junior year of college, he changed his major from psychology to pre-med. After seven years in oncology practice, he left to take on the challenge of creating a physician-friendly HMO.

At age 50, he left the business side of healthcare and immersed himself in a refresher oncology fellowship at MD Anderson to again care for patients with cancer. In 2015, after experiencing another decade of the brokenness of America’s approach to health, he engaged a team and they founded Switch Healthcare.

Switch provides better health value to self-insured companies by improving the quality of health decisions. Great decisions are the result of careful discernment, not a fluffy wellness website. John Maxwell’s definition of discernment fits. He says, “Smart leaders believe only half of what they hear. Discerning leaders know which half to believe.” Their product-centric society (described fully in the white paper) makes it nearly impossible for consumers to be discerning about their health decisions.
