J.D. Power needed a C-Suite healthcare expert and exceptional strategic thinker who could help us assess and define a growth path. Rich Kreisman partnered with the J.D. Power executive team as well as engaging with top corporate strategy and business unit executives at J.D. Power’s parent, McGraw-Hill Financial, and delivered a detailed assessment, analysis and recommendations.
Rich has a great approach in framing engagements, quickly defining and asking the right questions. His command of the healthcare Information market is impressive and significantly shortened the time to vet and filter opportunities. He quickly understood our business, position and priorities and focused on those opportunities that best fit with our business.
Rich also did a great job managing communications and socializing ideas throughout the engagement to ensure his work was aligned and reflected our feedback. We absolutely will engage KIC again as we have further needs in J.D. Power’s Healthcare practice.
