Jarrett Michau and Peter Doumas Bring Decades of Industry Expertise to Drive Innovation and Expand the World Class Health's Center of Excellence Network
NEW YORK, Feb. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- World Class Health, the largest Centers of Excellence (CoE) network with U.S. and global reach for large, self-funded employers, today announced the addition of Jarrett Michau as President and Peter Doumas as Chief Revenue Officer. These strategic hires strengthen the company's mission to guarantee cost savings and outcomes predictability in an increasingly unpredictable healthcare environment.
"Traditional healthcare benefits no longer meet the needs of employees and their families – they're fragmented, complex, and often fall short of delivering real value. Through data-driven engagement, expert navigation, and a best-in-class patient experience, World Class Health delivers the largest guaranteed cost savings and outcomes improvement in an increasingly unpredictable healthcare environment," said Siddharth Nambiar, Co-Founder and CEO of World Class Health. "Jarrett and Peter are industry powerhouses who know how to drive transformation at scale. Their leadership will be instrumental as we expand our reach and continue proving that best-in-class care is possible no matter where you live."
Prior to World Class Health, Jarrett served as CEO of North America at International SOS, where he led global expansion initiatives and spearheaded strategic growth efforts. With two decades of experience in international healthcare and executive management, he has a successful track record supporting the world's largest companies with their development and deployment of complex global healthcare initiatives. His history of working both in the developing and developed health care markets uniquely allows him to support World Class Health's ambitious health care distribution and delivery goals as the company scales its U.S. and global CoE network.
"Employers are facing rising healthcare costs with no clear path to predictability," said Michau. "World Class Health is setting a new standard that guarantees savings by delivering CoE solutions for self-funded employers that drastically lower costs on high-impact procedures – all without disrupting existing carrier relationships. I'm excited to be a part of the change that is needed and deliver better outcomes to employees worldwide."
Peter Doumas brings 30 years of experience in healthcare benefits, including leadership roles at Anthem National Accounts, UnitedHealthcare, and EmblemHealth. As an early-stage executive at Progyny, he played a pivotal role in expanding fertility and family-building benefits. His history of improving healthcare benefits for millions of families combined with his ability to innovate new healthcare models makes him the perfect candidate to help World Class Health reach new heights. As Chief Revenue Officer, he will focus on scaling World Class Health's reach, forging strategic partnerships, and delivering greater value to employers worldwide.
"Employers are demanding healthcare solutions that don't just check a box but actually move the needle on cost, quality, and experience," said Doumas. "World Class Health is enhancing traditional networks by offering employees access to world-class providers. I look forward to expanding its partnerships with hospitals and employers and delivering real value to companies that want to offer their employees the best healthcare in the world."
