teams.”
In her new role, Jennifer will lead the HIIQ Strategic
Initiatives Team, which is currently staffed with highly talented
professionals who have decades of experience in healthcare,
strategic research, analytics, risk management, and technology
experience from previous roles at firms, including Assurant, Willis
Towers Watson, and others.
As head of the HIIQ Strategic Initiatives Team, Jennifer will
focus on consumer-oriented projects and initiatives that are
directed to enhancing the value to consumers of the plans offered
through the HIIQ platform and will work closely with our in-house
regulatory counsel and team of regulatory paralegals.
