What NEW civilian agencies are you targeting in the year ahead? This is a standard question the OrangeSlices AI team asks every single small business we partner with. CMS is one of the three agencies\/departments mentioned the most (DHS and IRS are the other two, followed closely by USDA). As such, it is not a surprise that the second most asked question we receive is can you help me find a growth leader who has a track record of winning at CMS? This is a taller task, but one reliable answer we can offer is to point them in the direction of a broad set of senior industry and government leaders who now serve as independent consultants and can help guide them along as they work to gain an understanding of the agency.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Included here we share 20 former Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services leaders and innovators that have left the agency in the past few years that\u00a0are either actively acting as independent consultants today or who may be open to consulting arrangements.\u00a0This group of senior executives brings a broad set of expertise that covers everything from Data & Analytics; Acquisition; and Marketplace IT; to Enterprise Infrastructure and Operations; Quality Improvement, Healthcare Transformation and Program Integrity.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n OS AI Note:<\/span><\/b> This is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all available consultants, nor can we speak to the interest of these leaders in supporting your company. This list simply serves as a representative example of the types of former agency leaders who have gone out on their own and that have clear technical chops and business insight.\u00a0It also never hurts to reach out to\u00a0ask as they may have another person in mind who fits the bill.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Another avenue is leaders who have played key roles within industry supporting CMS and its efforts who are now consulting. Check this recent insight piece by one CMS SME and experienced growth leader JR Glass –<\/a>GovCon Growth Solutions\u2019 JR Glass shares advice for those Working With and Looking to Break Into CMS<\/a><\/p>\n Please note that we intentionally did not include former CMS leaders and SMEs who appear to currently be employed by other companies \u2013 there are plenty.. Our hope is that this list will serve as a primer and reminder that there is expertise available if you go hunting for it.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Partnering<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Looking for an 8(a), WOSB, HUBZone or SDVOSB to partner with at CMS?\u202f<\/span><\/b>Click Here<\/span><\/b><\/a>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n You can filter the list by several key indicators, to include socio-economic status, NAICS, Contract vehicle, etc.\u202f<\/span><\/b>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If you are a small business with capabilities and socio-economic status that might support any of these efforts, comment below and let others know you are interested.\u202f<\/span><\/b>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Firms drawing the most attention:<\/span><\/b>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Included below is a list of more than three dozen large and small companies we have noted as drawing the most views by Government and industry leaders on the OrangeSlices AI consultant directory over the past month and that bring direct past performance and\/or related relationships in support of CMS.\u202f<\/span><\/p>\n\n
