SHANE Solomon (pictured) who has served as the inaugural head of Telstra Health since the business was established in 2014, will step down from the role in Feb 2017.
Solomon came to the telco's healthcare services unit from a stint at KPMG's health practice, and has a long history in the healthcare sector.
Until his retirement, Solomon will continue to act as an advisor to Telstra on the national cancer screening register it has controversially been contracted to build and operate by the federal government.
"Having overseen the establishment of Telstra as a leading e-health services provider, Shane has decided that the time is right to begin the transition to retirement after a distinguished career as a health executive," Telstra said in a statement.
Telstra group executive, International and New Business, Cynthia Whelan will take over Solomon's role in the interim.
Telstra Health owns 50% of phamacy software supplier Fred IT.
