Experts bring deep provider, payer, and life sciences
performance improvement and change management experience
Navigant (NYSE: NCI) today announced that Milind Pawar and
Warren Skea, Ph.D., have joined the firm as managing directors in
its Healthcare segment.
In their roles, Pawar and Skea will provide advice to executives
and boards with hospitals and health systems, physician
enterprises, and payers on creating operating models and
high-performing networks that drive sustainable results. Pawar will
lead Navigant Healthcare’s corporate services solutions, while Skea
will join the firm’s strategic practice.
“For any healthcare organization, success today requires
re-evaluating and right-sizing strategic investments that have been
made in growth, technology, and population health,” said David
Burik, managing director and leader of Navigant’s payer/provider
consulting division. “Both Milind and Warren have proven change
management and performance improvement track records, based on
decades of experience working directly with executives on
multifunctional initiatives that achieve quantifiable strategic and
operational outcomes.”
Recognized for leading transformative engagements that optimize
performance, Pawar brings deep knowledge of the strategic and
operational challenges faced by providers, payers, and pharmacy
benefit manager (PBM) leadership. He most recently served as a
managing director for Accenture, where he led cross-functional
programs that realized more than $500 million in annual savings. He
also has experience helping providers develop new operating models
and enhance the customer and employee experience, establishing
post-merger plans for integration of specialty PBMs, and
architecting growth strategies for Medicaid managed care plans.
Pawar was also a senior project manager at global design and
strategy firm frog, where he successfully brought more than a dozen
consumer products to market.
Skea comes to Navigant from PwC, where he was a partner. In that
role, Skea led business development teams and large strategic
engagements for provider, payer, pharmaceutical, and medical device
clients. Prior to that, he rose to prominence as national director
of quality improvement initiatives for the American Heart
Association (AHA), where he helped develop and implement processes,
policies, and procedures for the AHA’s hospital-based quality
improvement program, Get with the Guidelines. Skea’s work has been
published in major publications, and presented at national and
international conferences, covering such topics as value-based
care, health policy, organizational culture, and strategic
transformation.
