DENVER — The Connect for Health Colorado® Board of Directors announced today it is resuming conversations with a short list of active candidates for Chief Executive Officer of the organization after the finalist for the post withdrew from consideration because of a change of heart over relocating to Colorado.

Robert (Bob) C. Malone, who had been named as the finalist for the position, this week asked to withdraw after reconsidering relocating his family to Colorado.  Mr. Malone recently moved to the New York City area, where he is originally from, after his former company, based in Lakewood, CO was sold in January.

“The board understands Bob’s decision and we wish him the continued success that brought him to our attention,” said Connect for Health Colorado Board Chair Sharon O’Hara. “We continue to see interest in the opportunity to lead Connect for Health Colorado among accomplished industry leaders. Board members and I are confident that we will be able to identify a strong executive to lead one of the country’s most successful state-based marketplaces.”
