Relevant experience:

• For a large regional health system, analyzed the 10-year trajectory of the system’s financial, commercial, and mission sustainability, assessed its vulnerability to changing market dynamics, and identified a portfolio of strategic priorities for medium and longer term repositioning. Led Management and Board review, socialization, and discussion sessions to create understanding and alignment.
• For one of the largest national health insurance organizations, developed a forward-looking, scenario-based planning framework for review and discussion with the Board of Directors.

• For a leading national hospital system, defined a transformation roadmap and initial operating model for a move from fee-for-service to fee-for-value – including contracting strategy, network alignment, and care model innovation. Supported the acquisition and integration of a health plan for the purposes of launching provider-specific MA and commercial products in local markets.
• For a regional hospital system and a national managed care organization, supported the conception, structuring, and negotiation of a joint venture agreement as the basis of shared risk, clinical integration, and product commercialization in the local market.
• For a recently merged health services technology solutions organization, led a Management and Board process on solution alignment, portfolio rationalization, and growth investment priorities to support promised financial expectations from the business combination.
• Prior to focusing on the healthcare industry, Charlie led senior level strategy assignments for leading organizations including IBM, Motorola, Honeywell, Time Warner, and Sears – employing lateral and pattern thinking to understand and respond to industry dynamics.
