About David Willis

I am an experienced general manager and management consultant with a 25-year track record of generating market-moving insights as well as building high-performing teams that help new businesses grow, and stalled businesses return to growth. I firmly believe that growth happens at the intersection of business model strength, brand differentiation, and a culture of deep human empathy. Take away any of the three, and growth falters. At small (InfoHrm, Root, The Health Management Academy, ECG), mid-sized (Advisory Board, CEB), and large (Optum) companies, I have delivered sustainable profitable growth by executing all three legs of that stool.In addition to strategic acumen and deep functional knowledge, I am a skilled communicator and facilitator, uniquely adept at driving executive alignment. The combination makes me effective at working through even the most complex matrixed environments.Across my career in healthcare professional services I have worked on almost every area of strategic importance: M&A, systemness, vertical integration, care transformation, population health, margin management, service line expansion and rationalization, physician alignment, patient/family experience, and workforce engagement. Other things you might care about: as the parent of two children with special medical needs, I am deeply committed to improving the patient experience in U.S. healthcare. My other passions include traveling, craft beer, wine, crossword puzzles, and baseball. I'm currently working on a book about the greatest teams in baseball history. Originally from the Boston area, I presently reside in Northern Virginia, but remain a diehard Red Sox fan (though I have learned to pronounce the letter “r").If you would like to connect, please feel free to message me on LinkedIn, or you can reach me at davidhwillis@gmail.com.

  • Ecg Management Consultants
    Principal, Strategy Practice
    Ecg Management Consultants Oct 2023 - Present
    San Diego, Ca, Us
    As a principal in ECG's strategy practice, I advise healthcare executives on the most important questions facing the industry today: Where is the industry going? How can we differentiate ourselves? How should our strategy evolve? Are our mission and vision still relevant? Should we be buying/selling/partnering? How do I engage my employee base in these changes? For almost 30 years, I have worked with leading healthcare organizations across the U.S. (and, occasionally, globally) on these issues - and I still derive tremendous energy from working with leaders to create and sustain meaningful change. My particular areas of expertise include strategic planning, organizational change, M&A integration, and systemness. If I - or ECG more broadly - can be of help to you, please reach out.

  • The Health Management Academy
    Svp, Center For Transformation

    I led The Health Management Academy's Center for Transformation, which includes all of THMA's events, programs, and services aimed at CEOs, CFOs, COOs, CMOs, CIOs, and CHROs in the health care industry. THMA serves the largest health systems in the U.S., along with their industry partners. During my tenure, the Center for Transformation doubled in size (both revenue and headcount) and expanded its remit to include signature partnerships with leading industry companies from pharma, genomics, revenue cycle, AI, and clinical innovation. Through innovative programming, learning design, and thought-leadership, CfT routinely attracted the nations leading CXOs to prioritize these events over competing networking events and conferences. CfT's programs were routinely cited, qualitatively and quantitatively, as being the most valuable peer learning programs in the industry for health care CXOs. My proudest accomplishment is that during my tenure the team I had the privilege of leading went from the lowest engagement scores in the company to the highest. Great leaders don't necessarily do great things; they empower others to aspire to do great things and to believe in their capabilities to achieve them. I was blessed to work with a truly amazing team during my tenure!
