Embark Behavioral Health names new CFO
Embark Behavioral Health, a major provider in the youth mental health and residential treatment space, has appointed Alec Dorman as its new Chief Financial Officer. Dorman, who joined the company in 2020 as chief of staff, replaces Darren Wight. Wight’s departure in early 2025 came as part of a broader leadership shake-up following Embark’s 2023 recapitalization by private equity firm Consonance Capital Partners. Leadership changes like this often reflect shifts in financial priorities. In private equity-backed programs, they can raise concerns about profit motives outweighing youth safety. Dorman’s background in private equity may signal continued financial restructuring or expansion.
