An entrepreneur in healthcare, financial services and energy, Mike has led teams that built Continuum, a multi-billion dollar global leader in insurance software; Healtheon/WebMD, the largest consumer health information and transaction clearinghouse (chronicled in Michael Lewis’ best-seller, The New, New Thing); and NEOS, a solutions-oriented geosciences company that is leading the field in multi-measurement interpretation (of geo-datasets) and imaging of the earth’s subsurface.

Today, Mike leads Essence Healthcare and Lumeris, whose shared purpose is to slow the growth of healthcare’s $2.6 trillion in expenses while improving clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction.
