Carrum Health has appointed Kulesh Shanmugasundaram as Chief Product and Technology Officer and Ravi Garimella as Senior Vice President of Data and AI, announced in a press release. The company said the new leadership will focus on expanding its AI and data infrastructure to support the growth of its specialty care platform.

Carrum doubled its covered lives in 2025 and aims to enhance its AI systems that identify patients likely to require high-cost care and evaluate provider quality across large data sets. The new appointments come as Carrum works to improve provider evaluation, streamline patient navigation, and scale care operations for its network of nearly seven million members.

The company said both leaders will focus on strengthening AI and data capabilities to improve speed, precision, and member experience across its value-based care model.
