Dayne Williams will assume the role of CEO and Board member at Quantum Health, effective January 13, 2025
Quantum Health has appointed Dayne Williams as the company’s new CEO. He will join its Board of Directors on January 13, 2025.
The newly appointed CEO will succeed Zane Burke, who will step down after leading the company for three years due to family health reasons.
During his tenure, Burke helped the company achieve significant growth, drive product innovations, and enhance its technology platform.
Williams brings substantial experience to Quantum Health, having previously served as the founder, CEO, and Executive Chairman of PlanSource, a leading technology company that helps employers manage benefit programs. Under Williams' leadership, PlanSource grew significantly, serving over 5 million employees and 3,800 employers.
Kara Trott, Founder and Board Chair of Quantum Health, expressed excitement over Williams’ appointment, highlighting the importance of independent healthcare navigation for employers.
"We are thrilled to have Dayne join Quantum Health as the use of independent navigation continues to be a primary focus for employers looking to address rising costs including pharmacy spend and to provide a better health benefit experience for both their employees and providers," Trott said.
Williams’ expertise in scaling companies and driving technology adoption aligns with Quantum Health’s growth strategy.
As CEO of PlanSource, he helped the company significantly expand its reach, offering innovative benefit management solutions to employers. His previous experience at CoAdvantage, a professional employer organization (PEO), further strengthens his leadership background.
"Dayne is a proven scaler of transformative companies, and his expertise will expand our core solutions, ongoing use of new technologies like GenAI, and continue delivering leading ROI and outcomes," Trott added.
Williams emphasized the role of Quantum Health in shaping the healthcare navigation sector and underscored the company’s potential for future growth.
"I am excited to join an amazing culture and strong leadership team as we enter this next stage of the company’s growth and continue to execute our mission and vision," Williams stated.
Quantum Health has experienced rapid growth, signing over 90 new employer clients in 2024. The company’s platform serves over 550 clients and supports over 3 million members.
Notably, it launched its Pharmacy Navigation solution in 2024 to help employers manage rising pharmacy costs by offering their employees clinically equivalent, cost-effective care alternatives.
Quantum Health’s Board members have expressed confidence in Williams’ ability to continue driving the company’s success. TJ Carella, Managing Director at Warburg Pincus, stated, "We are excited by Dayne’s vision for Quantum Health, his industry leadership experience, and his proven ability to drive growth and unlock new market value."
While Rafael Cofiño, Managing Director at Great Hill Partners, added, "Dayne is a strategic leader who can scale market-leading companies while delivering an excellent service to members and clients. We are confident he will leverage his deep understanding of the health benefits industry to deliver greater value to Quantum Health’s members and clients."
