Executive Team

Michael Acker is executive vice president and general manager of Enterprise at Sharecare, the digital health company that helps people manage all their health in one place. In this role, he oversees relationship management and business development across the company’s Enterprise portfolios, integrating Sharecare’s full suite of research-backed solutions to maximize well-being for clients and partners.

Prior to his role leading Enterprise, Acker served as senior vice president of account management for the division, supporting the implementation and management of comprehensive population health and well-being programs for the company’s large employer and commercial health plan clients. Previously, as senior vice president of community and urban services, he oversaw Sharecare’s portfolio of technology-enabled community well-being transformation solutions, including the modernization of Sharecare’s Community Well-Being Index.

Acker joined Sharecare in 2016 through the company’s acquisition of Healthways. While at Healthways, he played an integral role in the company’s population health and community well-being strategies, including the commercialization of the Blue Zones Project. In the initiative’s formative stage, Acker worked closely with National Geographic explorer and best-selling author Dan Buettner to create an evidence-based, scalable, and sustainable program that could help entire communities move toward optimal health and well-being by improving their surroundings to support healthy choices. Today, 70 communities across the U.S. have joined the Blue Zones movement – impacting more than 4 million people, and with significant outcomes related to declines in obesity and smoking and increases in rates of exercise and healthy eating.

Previously, Acker held various finance, strategy, and product management roles in across the healthcare sector. He is a member of the American Public Health Association and an advisory board member for the Council on Rural Aging.

Acker holds a master’s degree in public health from the University of Tennessee and a bachelor’s degree in health policy from Ithaca College in New York.
