About HLG · Leadership

Built by operators who have scaled these businesses.

HLG started in 2020 as an idea — to integrate every part of a health plan into a single, operator-led platform. The team behind it has built and run these systems at Bank of America, TSYS, NextGen Healthcare, Visa, and Rectangle Health.

What we believe

An operator's view of healthcare infrastructure.

Operator-led

Built and run by people who have scaled these systems at Bank of America, TSYS, Visa, NextGen, and Rectangle Health.

Integrated by design

Plan, admin, care, payments, and commercial coverage in one stack — not stitched together by vendors.

Bank-custodied & compliant

Segregated FBO accounts, ERISA-aligned fiduciary structure, HIPAA and SOC 2 controls across the platform.

Building toward public

Live across eight operating companies today, preparing for a private raise and a December 2026 public offering.

Founding story
