Seattle startup 98point6 appoints Jeff Greenstein as permanent CEO following leadership shuffle
- ByStartupStory | December 7, 2021
98point6 chairman Jeff Greenstein is now the company’s permanent CEO after taking over interim leadership duties following the departure of former CEO and co-founder Robbie Cape in August.
Greenstein was named interim CEO after the board of Seattle-based 98point6 decided to remove Cape as CEO. At the time, the telemedicine company said it was looking for a new leader who could position the 6-year-old startup for its next phase of growth.
That person ended up being Greenstein, a longtime Seattle business leader and philanthropist who served 38 months in prison a decade ago for conspiring to defraud the Internal Revenue Service and aiding and assisting in the filing of a false return as part of an approximately $240 million tax shelter fraud.
Greenstein founded investment management firm Quellos Group in 1994 and sold it to BlackRock for more than $1 billion in 2007. He now runs an investment firm called YIS Capital. He co-founded 98point6 in 2015 with Cape, though his role was largely under the radar until this year.
Greenstein remains chairman of the company, which provides virtual primary care in all 50 states to more than 3 million patients. It has more than 300 commercial contracts. The startup employs 369 people.
