This recognition celebrates top professionals and organizations within the benefits industry that strive to transform and humanize the field and set a bright example within the business. The 2023 honorees were selected by a panel of industry experts based on how well they stated and achieved goals with regards to the nomination category; how impactful their work has been; how dedicated the nominee has been to furthering modernization and humanization in the insurance business; and the nominee’s commitment to the highest ethical standards, as well as dedication to service and excellence.

“This year’s honorees exemplify how leading benefits professionals are moving their industries toward a brighter future and producing meaningful results in the areas that matter most to employers, employees and the future of benefits and health care,” said BenefitsPRO Editor in Chief Paul Wilson. “Our team is excited to recognize these industry thought leaders and innovators.”

“It is an honor to be recognized by BenefitsPRO for the impact we are making in the benefits industry. I am incredibly proud of our team’s work in moving the healthcare affordability needle and putting patient’s health and savings above all else,” said Ashok Subramanian, Founder and CEO of Centivo. “There’s no debate that healthcare is in an ever-deepening crisis, and the vision and leadership Centivo is bringing into focus is defining a healing path based on the simple reality that higher costs do not reflect higher quality care.”
