  • #62- Donvan Pyle: Rising Health Care Costs. Employee Benefits.

    Donovan Pyle identified a fundamental misalignment in the market: Brokers make more money when their clients' costs go up, which undermines their ability to maximize the return on an employer’s benefits investment.

    The problem inspired Donovan to develop and found one of the first fee-based, carrier-agnostic employee benefits consulting firms in 2018.


    By working directly for employers instead of vendors, Donovan’s firm — Health Compass Consulting — escapes the financial conflicts of interest that prevent employers from fulfilling their fiduciary responsibility or maximizing the return on their benefits investments.
