- Jan Claesson, internationally successful senior executive, organizational and business development expert, and;
- Christopher Pouliot, an accomplished operations, technology and relationship management Executive, join PMA immediately as managing consultants and advisors on current and new PMA projects.

Companies include F1000, mid-size as well as start-up organizations. Claesson has built and lead organizations in excess of $800m in annual revenues.

Pouliot's background spans several industries, the past ten years with Adaptis, Inc. focused on client solutions in health care finance, operations and logistics between providers, payers, and intermediaries. His previous experience includes Director level positions with oversight of finance and operations in hospitality, banking, and retail firms.

"Both Jan and Chris are welcome additions to our team," says PMA's VP of Audit and Regulatory Systems, Dr. Donald Jones. "They bring a wealth of recent healthcare experience, especially in the areas of finance, IT, health plans, and in that challenging space that defines how projects should run when a big change is in the offing."

Derek Jansen of PMA adds, "We think the depth and breadth of knowledge they bring to our client support is incredibly important as the government constantly updates the laws and regulations surrounding federal health care programs at the same time it encourages entities to adopt new ways of conducting business. Only professionals who both understand the regulations and know how to implement programs can help healthcare entities ensure both success and compliance."
