Geisinger CEO David Feinberg is moving over to Google to head up its healthcare sector. Yesterday Geisinger announced that Feinberg is stepping down and Dr. Jaewon Ryu will be taking over as interim president and CEO of the organization.
While Geisinger's announcement was relatively vague about what Feinberg will be doing at Google, CNBC reports that his job will entail streamlining and organizing the tech giant’s many health initiatives. The article goes on to specifically mention Google Brain, Nest and Google Fit as divisions that he will be involved with.
