Our Leadership Team
Driven to Serve
At NorthStar Benefits Partners, we believe employee benefits should do more than check a box — they should truly serve people. In a healthcare system that often feels broken, with rising costs and limited transparency, we help employers take back control.
Our team specializes in unbundled, partially self-funded health plan strategies that give companies financial clarity and their employees better access to care. By aligning data, experience, and innovative solutions, we create plans that reduce waste, protect budgets, and improve outcomes.
We are more than consultants — we are guides. Like the North Star, our role is to provide steady direction in a complex and often confusing landscape. Our commitment is simple: always do what’s right, always put people first, and always deliver results that matter.
Together, we’re helping employers reimagine what benefits can be — not just for their bottom line, but for the well-being of every employee and family they support.
