Best Buy has bought two health tech-related companies in recent years and its CEO has spoken of bigger ambitions.

Asheesh Saksena, who has led Best Buy's health-care efforts, is stepping down from his role.

Asheesh Saksena, president of Best Buy Health, will leave that post, but remain a strategic advisor to CEO Corie Barry, company spokeswoman Carly Charlson said in a statement. As Best Buy looks for a successor, Saksena's team will report to Barry in the interim, she said. "His time with the company brought us meaningfully closer to our strategic goal of helping millions of Americans stay healthy through consumer technology and related services," the company spokeswoman said. "Our strategy remains constant and we look forward to announcing a successor who will build on the progress made so far and help create an even more compelling future."

In his role, Saksena oversaw those acquired companies, as well as Best Buy's health-care initiatives and strategy.
