Veteran technology leader Anthony Mustoe has been appointed chief information officer at Frisco-based Careington International Corp. and its affiliate companies Careington Benefit Solutions, DialCare, and Munroe Sutton.

“Anthony’s extensive experience in health care benefits and other key industries make him a perfect choice for CIO,” Careington CEO Stewart Sweda said in a statement. “We’re excited to lean on his relevant expertise to help propel our growing companies into a technology-centric future.”

Mustoe brings more than 25 years of experience as a seasoned technology leader in a wide variety of industries, including healthcare, biotechnology, telecommunications, hospitality, and more, the company said.

Before joining Careington, Mustoe was the CIO of a publicly traded biotech company and led his IT team to help springboard decades of research into commercial success. During his time in that role, his accomplishments include launching customer-facing, cloud-hosted analytic software and creating an IT culture that attracts and retains talented team members, Careington said.

The company said that Mustoe has a passion for fueling technological innovation and expertise delivering high-volume health care solutions, customer-oriented technology, and world-class cybersecurity protection. Careington said that, supported by a tenured IT team, Mustoe will ensure Careington stays ahead of the technology curve.

“It’s a privilege to join the leadership team of the Careington family of companies,” Mustoe said in a statement. “With Careington’s talented IT team and proven track record of delivering cutting-edge technology solutions, I’m excited to bring my industry experience and lead them through the coming years.”

Other C-suite moves

Careington said that Mustoe joins a growing, highly-experienced executive leadership team.

In 2023, tenured Careington leaders Jeremy Hedrick and Amanda Rinker Horton were elevated to C-suite positions, the company said. For more than two decades, Hedrick, who now serves as chief operations officer, has contributed to many aspects of the strategic growth and overall direction of the Careington family of companies. Previously, he was president of affiliate telemedicine company, DialCare.

Horton, who has acted as Careington’s general counsel since 2010, has been promoted to chief compliance officer and general counsel. She also serves as the chair of the Careington Compliance Committee, in which she oversees the compliance department to ensure all data and security protocols are achieved.

Also, Jolene Hersch was promoted to senior vice president of human resources after joining Careington as vice president in 2022.

“Careington is proud to have so many accomplished and talented leaders grow in their respective capacities,” Sweda said. “Their vision, expertise and leadership will be an instrumental part of Careington’s continued growth and commitment to excellence.”

Founded in 1979, Careington is a nationally recognized product aggregator and full-service administrator, and one of the largest privately held discount healthcare companies in the nation.

Careington serves more than 30 million members across all industry-best companies, brands, products, and services. Dedicated to improving individual health and well-being by providing affordable access to care, Careington’s national PPO and dental discount networks, flagship dental savings plans, and growing portfolio of more than 150 health, wellness, and lifestyle products and services are designed to deliver cost savings and service excellence across a spectrum of life needs, the company said.
