David has 40 years of experience in the leadership and management of risk bearing organizations, provider-sponsored health plans, at risk IPA’s, ACO’s and clinically integrated networks.

David has worked effectively with physician leaders, physician groups and health systems to align objectives and incentives to enhance performance and to accomplish needed transformation.

David’s particular expertise is the assessment of risk relative to creating the right economic alignment among providers and the management of that risk to create both the right financial outcomes as well as to transform.

Four times in his career, David has joined struggling health plans as their CEO leader, with the urgent, crisis necessitated charter to turn around the plan financially and operationally. Each time, he has succeeded in the turnaround effort, markedly improving the quality of the people, creating a strong performance culture and returning dividends to the provider sponsor.

David, in the course of his turnaround work, has actively and effectively engaged health system CEO’s and CFO’s to discuss why and how the health plan fits with the health system’s strategy and priorities, thus leading to critical decisions related to holding vs. divesting the assets, regardless of its improved financial performance. He has then assisted them in the disposition of assets when they determined that ownership, did not fit their strategic profile.
