Amazon-Owned One Medical Says CEO to Leave Later This Year

Amazon-owned One Medical, a national hybrid in-office and virtual primary care organization, will be undergoing a leadership transition as CEO Amir Dan Rubin departs the company later this year.

Rubin’s departure was announced in an internal email by Neil Lindsay, who leads Amazon’s health services group, Bloomberg reported Thursday (Aug. 31). Trent Green, the current chief operating officer of One Medical, will be taking over as CEO.

Reached for comment by PYMNTS, One Medical said in an emailed statement: “After more than six years as CEO of One Medical, Amir Dan Rubin has decided to leave One Medical later this year. He will work closely with the team over the coming months to transition the CEO role smoothly to Trent Green, who is currently One Medical’s COO and is deeply familiar with the business and the team.”

The reason for Dan Rubin’s departure has not been disclosed. Dan Rubin joined One Medical in 2017.

One Medical said in an emailed statement: “Amir feels the organization and its leadership team are well positioned to carry on with its mission.”

Amazon announced its $3.9 billion acquisition of One Medical in July 2022, saying that it aims to reinvent health care and that Dan Rubin would remain as CEO of One Medical. The retailer described One Medical as a tech-powered primary care provider that offers in-person, digital and virtual care services.

Lindsay said in a press release announcing the acquisition that Amazon sees “lots of opportunity to both improve the quality of the experience and give people back valuable time in their days.”

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) investigated the purchase but allowed the acquisition to close without opposing it. The Wall Street Journal reported in February that the FTC was concerned about how Amazon would handle patient data obtained by One Medical.

Healthcare and wellness has been a recent area of interest for both Amazon and its rival, Walmart. The competition between the two is not precisely direct or indirect, as each offers vastly different value propositions targeting consumers at large, but tends to target different shoppers, PYMNTS reported in May.

In one recent move, Amazon offered a savings of $55 — 28% off the usual price of $199 — on an annual One Medical membership as one of the retailer’s Prime Day deals.
