Ben Plassman is a candidate with Executive experience and an MBA in Finance from the Miami, Florida, area. With over ten years of experience in finance, Ben has worked for large organizations, like Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, and smaller ones like Datalink Software. Ben started in healthcare with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, where he handled, explained, and negotiated all risk and financial arrangements. While there, Ben experienced success as a team leader. His tenure was cut short due to a move for family reasons, as his wife, a physician, took over her father's medical practice in Miami, causing him to relocate from Detroit to Miami.Ben then became the Head of Finance for Plaza Medical Centers, a chain of value-based care clinics, in Miami. This role was temporary as Plaza Medical Centers was in the midst of a merger with a private-equity-owned company. In this role, Ben was involved in the merger negotiations and led the Finance Department with FP&A reforms that allowed the clinics to coordinate care more financially efficiently. Upon the successful merger, Ben stayed with the company for a few months as Finance Director and assisted in the merger of the two companies before transitioning to a software company, Datalink Software. In this position, Ben led a team that reconciled financials for value-based care clinics, allowing the clinics to view advanced statistics and data. However, Datalink Software dealt with financial issues, prompting them to go through two company layoffs, which Ben was subject to during the second round of layoffs. Since then, Ben has ramped up his work as a risk and financial consultant for his company, Health Bridge Solutions. He is highly talented and currently seeking employment in a financial leadership position for a business in the healthcare sector.
