CEO of Match Group Americas Amarnath Thombre has joined the board of directors at Solera Health, an integrated benefit network.

Thombre has been working at Match Group for 10 years, where he has served as Chief Strategy Officer, as well as the President of Match.com.

During his time with the online dating umbrella, he has utilised consumer behaviour data to improve matching algorithms and drive consumer engagement rates.

Solera Health is an organisation that connects patients to affordable health plans from a large network of medical providers. It identifies the best supplier based on each individual’s unique needs, which improves the patient’s experience at a lower cost.

Brenda Schmidt, the CEO of Solera Health said in a statement: “What Amarnath has achieved at the Match Group is groundbreaking. His expertise in matching logic, consumer engagement, and operational excellence is a tremendous value-add and validation of our platform’s capabilities.

“The opportunity to leverage Amarnath’s expertise in consumer engagement will help Solera more effectively match individuals to our broad ecosystem of network providers, driving industry-leading levels of sustained engagement and outcomes.”

Thombre explained why he took on the additional role by saying: “The parallels between the consumer engagement approach at Solera and Match are fascinating and I see a great opportunity waiting to be unlocked. At Match Group, at a very basic level, we help people change their lives and find joy. I couldn’t think of a better way to amplify that impact than improving their health.”
