EIS, a core and digital platform provider for insurers, has announced the appointment of Dan Galdenzi to lead a dedicated initiative to drive the growth and expansion of its core EIS Suite™ to carriers in the health insurance space. As General Manager and Executive Vice President, Healthcare, Galdenzi will direct an initiative focused on helping carriers accelerate their digital transformations to provide better customer experiences, achieve greater operational efficiency and deliver new products and services at two to three times the speed of traditional systems partners.

Galdenzi recently joined EIS from NASCO, the digital health solution provider for Blue Cross and Blue Shield health plans, where he worked as SVP and Chief Growth Officer. Previously, he served as CIO at BlueCross BlueShield of Vermont, where he led the organization’s journey into a member-first culture and oversaw their four-year core administrative system migration onto NASCO. With nearly 25 years of progressive technology, business, and innovation experience in healthcare IT, Galdenzi brings a deep understanding of the market and a fundamental belief in the disruptive nature of modern technology to EIS.

“As health insurers look to diversify their offerings into ancillary services such as dental and vision, we see a great opportunity to provide them with a platform that can meet their digital needs and serve as a springboard for broader transformation,” said Galdenzi. “Healthcare has lagged the modernization movement embraced by other insurance sectors where EIS is successfully partnering to deliver disruptive technologies. We are assembling a team that has a deep knowledge of the unique challenges healthcare organizations face as they seek to reimagine their core IT systems and we look forward to employing our expertise to help them overcome barriers to transformation.”

“EIS is excited to welcome Dan to lead our healthcare initiative and build a world-class team to drive it,” says EIS’ Chief Executive Officer, Alec Miloslavsky.  “Dan is an industry authority, with a first-hand understanding of the challenges health insurers face as they leverage leading-edge technology to provide better experiences, while diversifying their services and moving into new markets.”

Dr. Mark Boxer, a member of EIS’ Board of Directors, a former Cigna executive and an internationally recognized innovator and technologist with more than 25 years of experience in digital health, healthcare technology, and analytics added,  “With the growing focus of insurers on delivering personalized and integrated experiences to customers, enhancing provider productivity and improving outcomes and affordability, the industry should heartily welcome the EIS initiative to help it support a broader ecosystem of products and services and use the newest technologies to do it.”
