GoodRx Appoints Former GoDaddy CEO Scott Wagner as Interim CEO

GoodRx has appointed former GoDaddy CEO Scott Wagner as interim CEO, effective Tuesday (April 25).

Wagner succeeds GoodRx’s former co-CEOs, the company’s co-founders Doug Hirsch and Trevor Bezdek, who have transitioned to new roles as chief mission officer and chairman, respectively, the digital healthcare platform said in a Tuesday press release.

During his time with GoDaddy, which ended in 2019, Wagner was interim CEO for one year; president, chief operating officer and chief financial officer for four years; and CEO for two years, according to his LinkedIn profile.

While there, he expanded GoDaddy’s product suite, grew its customer base, increased its customer engagement and tripled its revenue, according to the Tuesday press release.

Today, Wagner also sits on the boards of the high-growth tech companies GoFundMe, Kajabi, DoubleVerify and BILL.

“Scott has an incredible track record of growing and evolving public companies, and I am eager to support him as we enter the next phase of the company’s growth,” Hirsch said in the release.

“I am confident that Scott’s fresh perspective and business acumen will build on our legacy and take us to new heights,” Bezdek said in the release.

Wagner, Hirsch and Bezdek will work together to accelerate the company’s product innovation, strengthen its ecosystem of industry partners and grow its customer base, according to the press release.

“I look forward to helping the company expand its core consumer marketplace to serve more people with a richer, engaging experience for their healthcare needs,” Wagner said in the release. “GoodRx has a number of exciting opportunities to add value across the ecosystem of healthcare professionals, pharmacies, insurers and manufacturers — all in the service of getting the consumer the right medication affordably and easily.”

During GoodRx’s most recent earnings call, the firm reported it has been adding partnerships, integrating technologies and taking steps to avoid a repeat of a situation in which a retailer dropped the drug discount provider without notice.

The firm said during the February call that it had recently added Sam’s Club’s 560 retail pharmacy locations to the list of pharmacies that accept GoodRx discounts.
