About Coral Health Advisors

Coral Health Advisors is a health care consulting firm focused on helping leaders navigate complexity and turn policy and market change into confident action.

• Leading multi-workstream engagements from scoping through delivery.
• Serving as primary day to day client lead on major accounts.

• Developing and overseeing executive-ready deliverables grounded in policy, operational, and financial analysis.
• Interpreting utilization, quality, and financial performance data to inform strategy.
• Managing and mentoring Consultants, Senior Consultants, and Managing Consultants.
• Leading proposal development, including scope design, pricing contracts, and drafting.
• Identifying opportunities to expand existing client relationships.
• Collaborating on firmwide initiatives that strengthen resourcing, drive growth, enhance service excellence, and support the firm’s strategic positioning.

• Demonstrated experience leading complex engagements and managing teams.
• Strong executive communication skills.
• The ability to advise senior leaders clearly and confidently.
• Deep familiarity with value-based care and performance-based payment models.
• Comfort working with health care data, including claims, quality measures, and financial performance metrics, and translating insights into strategy.
• Advanced proficiency in developing executive-ready materials using modern productivity tools, including responsible and effective use of AI.
• Experience scoping work, managing budgets, and maintaining delivery discipline.
• Thrives in a dynamic, fast-paced environment with the ability to pivot quickly as business needs shift.
