I’ve specialized in PBM contracting for many years, and worked during that time with many PBM consultants. I can say without hesitation Connie is among the very best, combining deep technical expertise with strong relationships throughout the PBM industry. One of the striking things about Connie is she has decades of experience yet maintains an abiding enthusiasm for the work. She is a very compelling advocate for her clients. Connie also has developed an unusual specialty in smaller and disruptor PBMs, and so is well-suited to help clients evaluate the benefits and risks of moving away from the big three.
