Hazel Health will install a new CEO after its previous CEO resigned after a rocky eight-month tenure.
The school-focused digital health care provider announced June 17 that it appointed Alexandrea “Alli” Fair to the corner office, effective June 29. Fair previously served as chief operating officer at the physical healthcare provider-focused digital mental health company Iris Telehealth. She worked at Iris for about four years.
Fair’s career includes a 15-year stint in managed care and about 10 years as an executive in radiology.
Hazel Health named board member Iyah Romm in October 2025, succeeding founding CEO Josh Golomb. Romm was the founding CEO of Cityblock Health.
The company provides physical and mental telehealthcare in partnership with schools. About 5.5 million students have access to its services, the company says.
“[Fair’s] deep operating experience leading peer organizations and balance of commitment to both clinical excellence and financial sustainability are the perfect match for Hazel’s next chapter,” Tory Patterson, co-founder and managing partner at Owl Ventures, the lead investor in Hazel Health, said in a statement. “We thank Iyah for his leadership transforming Hazel and putting us firmly on the path to sustainability over the last year, and couldn’t be more excited about what’s to come.”
The CEO transition potential marks a pivotal development for the company. The company has apparently been facing a prolonged state of distress.
The company has undergone two rounds of layoffs in the last few months in an attempt to right the ship. One round was disclosed in October; another was rolled out in February. At some point just before the layoffs, the company acquired two others: BeMe Health and Little Otter.
Axios reported earlier this month that the company failed to transact after completing a sales process. The company has secured at least $119 million in venture funding, according to Crunchbase.
Representatives of the company have not responded to requests for comment about the leadership change or the reports of its failed sales process. This story may be updated.
