Vālenz Appoints Larry Eisel as Chief Financial Officer
PHOENIX, Ariz. (December 16, 2019) — Today, leaders at Vālenz™ announced the appointment of Larry Eisel, CPA, CMA, CGMA, as Chief Financial Officer. In addition to overseeing all financial operations, Eisel will play a key role in strategic planning and establishing sustainable growth goals for Valenz.
Eisel’s background in finance spans more than three decades, including 11 years as CFO for Total Transit, which included Veyo, a healthcare logistics data analytics firm. As such, Eisel brings the right mix of industry experience, financial acumen and leadership strength to the Valenz executive team.
“At Valenz, our promise of smarter, better, faster healthcare requires some of the smartest minds in business, and Larry has the vision and experience we need to lead our enterprise to new heights,” said Rob Gelb, Chief Revenue Officer. “With his prior success in building and managing the finances of growth-oriented companies, I am certain Larry will deliver the results we need to continuously expand our capabilities.”
As a testament to Eisel’s expertise, which includes leadership in mergers and acquisitions, divestitures, risk management, contract management, accounting, compliance, purchasing and more, he was named 2014 CFO of the Year by Financial Executives International. He also received the Outstanding CFO award from the Phoenix Business Journal the same year. Eisel says he is drawn to innovative companies that make a measurable impact by consolidating once-disparate service offerings under one roof, which led him to Valenz and its complete health administrative ecosystem.
“Valenz is extremely well positioned to transform claim management through data science and first-of-its-kind integration, and I am excited to join a team so heavily focused on bringing real savings and solutions to its customers,” Eisel said. “I look forward to the future and doing my part to continually expand the true potential of Valenz.”
