GIS Healthcare Solutions is pleased to welcome Randy Wilder as President, Big East Region. Randy brings more than 18 years of employee benefits experience across marketing, product, strategy, and sales. Most recently, as Regional Director for Eastern Pennsylvania, South Jersey, and Delaware at MetLife, he led a high-performing sales team while driving sustainable growth and building strategic partnerships across the region. In his new role, Randy will lead GIS Healthcare Solutions in the Big East Region, helping us build a different kind of medical Benefits Operating Partner that works as an extension of broker and employer teams, with hands-on support that goes well beyond quoting and placement. From strategy and plan design consultation to problem-solving and employee engagement, GIS Healthcare Solutions is focused on helping brokers and employers address rising healthcare costs while creating a better benefits experience. Please join us in welcoming Randy to GIS. We’re excited to have his leadership and experience on the team and look forward to what’s ahead.

For two decades, GIS has been doing the work the employee benefits industry had no name for. Today we named it. Effective immediately, GIS is our industry’s first and only Benefits Operating Partner. Creating capacity for every broker, carrier, and employer partner that we serve – and delivering real value to the market A general agent quotes cases. A Benefits Operating Partner handles the entire benefits lifecycle and is accountable for ongoing capacity creation, results, and outcomes month-after-month, year-after-year. GIS is not an agency and there is nothing general about what we do. This is not a new label for an existing model. It is a new category. For 20 years, our independence has given us the freedom to put our clients and their people at the center of every decision - bringing Fortune 500-caliber benefits, execution, and expertise to employers of all sizes.
