Fluent announced that Sean Carroll has been named CEO of Fluent, following the retirement of former CEO Paul Sheils.

Carroll, the current board chair and former 10-year CEO of Arcadia Solutions, a leading healthcare data and analytics company, brings a wealth of experience to the role, including a track record of transforming strong service businesses toward a successful data-centric, technology-enabled profile. Carroll’s other career highlights include working as senior vice president of healthcare at Nuance Communications, where he helped perpetuate a dominant market share position with advanced voice recognition and natural language processing technology solutions to health plans, health systems, and provider groups.

“We want to thank Paul for his almost nine years as Fluent’s CEO, leading the company through dramatic growth, product diversification, a rebrand and multiple, successful acquisitions,” said Andrew Brown, managing director of The Beekman Group and Fluent’s chairman. “We are delighted that Paul will continue to be involved with Fluent as a senior advisor and board member. We are thrilled to have Sean join Fluent as its new CEO. Sean’s strong leadership skills and technological expertise are the perfect fit for Fluent. We are excited to have attracted such an accomplished, skilled, and effective leader to drive Fluent’s next phase of growth.”

“I’m thrilled to be joining the Fluent team,” said Sean Carroll. “I have long admired Fluent as an innovative, nimble and asset-rich company in the dental industry, and I can’t wait to continue Fluent’s flawless track record of delivering best-in-class customer service, deep dental data expertise, and industry-leading, technology-enabled solutions. I want to thank Paul for his guidance and support as I step into this new chapter, as well as for the remarkable culture of professionalism, collegiality and productivity he created at Fluent.”
