About Our Firm

We are a New York City-based vendor management firm focused exclusively on the HR supply chain, including Employer Sponsored Healthcare, Retirement and HR Systems programs and vendors. Our solutions improve the financial, operating performance, transparency and accountability of HR Benefit programs while still maintaining existing vendor relationships.

Our team thinks and acts both strategically and tactically in the development of new business. We deliver clear bottom-line business value propositions and establish effective relationships with CEOs, CFOs, CHROs, Audit executives and other key stakeholder to execute against sector, target and account strategies.

The impact of our work is material cost mitigation, improved plan performance and vendor optimization. Our employer sponsored health care group enables clients to reap direct efficiencies of 10% to 12% on their healthcare costs within one year, and 5% to 7% in subsequent years while maintaining existing vendors and current benefits without shifting costs.

Additionally, we assist sponsors in leveraging the aggregate purchasing power of their portfolio to capture value and drive margin expansion.
