DECATUR, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 2, 2025--

Consociate Health, a leading Third-Party Administrator delivering innovative healthcare solutions, announced Darren Ashby as its new President, joining CEO and Chairman Darren Reynolds to lead the company’s next phase of growth.

Ashby brings 35 years of experience in third-party administration, with extensive expertise in healthcare and benefits leadership. Throughout his career, he has held multiple leadership roles within the industry, building long-standing relationships and a deep understanding of the evolving needs of employers, advisors, and plan members.

During his 18-year tenure with Health SCOPE Benefits, Ashby served in senior leadership, ultimately holding the position of Senior Vice President of Operations at the time of the company’s acquisition by United/UMR in 2019, where he spent four years further strengthening operations before retiring in March 2024.

“I lead by example,” said Ashby. “What drew me to Consociate is the company’s commitment to family, community, and making a meaningful impact on people’s lives.”

Reynolds added, “We’re very excited to have Darren join us. He’s a strong leader who shares our culture and values. This is good for our company, our clients, and our employees. Having Darren as our president ensures we continue to grow and innovate while maintaining the culture that makes Consociate special.”

Under Ashby’s leadership, Consociate aims to leverage technology and actionable analytics to enhance service delivery and employee benefits programs, while keeping the human element at the center of their work. “Technology will play a major role in the future,” Ashby said, “but in service, you can’t remove the human element.”
