Stuart Piltch stands as a luminary at the convergence of healthcare, insurance, and national security, drawing from a rich tapestry of experiences and accomplishments. Hailing from the Boston area as one of nine siblings, Stuart’s academic pursuit led him to Hobart and William Smith Colleges, where he graduated with high honors, majoring in both History and American Studies in 1982.

Post-graduation, Stuart embarked on a unique trajectory, delving into dual careers that would define his professional narrative. His first track involved delving into the intricacies of the intelligence community, immersing himself in diverse global terrains, including regions mired in intense conflicts. Within this domain, Stuart’s impactful contributions earned him the privilege of working alongside senior intelligence officers and national security leaders. His expertise was sought after, leading him to testify before numerous Congressional Committees and Subcommittees, thus solidifying his influence within the national security sphere. Notably, Stuart’s tenure encompassed pivotal roles, fostering collaborations with entities like the American Security Project and elevating his voice on critical security matters.

Concurrently, Stuart carved a significant imprint within the healthcare and insurance industry. His professional tenure encompassed pivotal roles at prestigious firms such as MetLife and HealthNow, where his multifaceted responsibilities spanned finance, operations, client services, and sales. In the mid-1990s, Stuart’s acumen led him to the role of Principal at Buck Consulting, a privately held consulting entity, marking yet another milestone in his illustrious career.

In 1999, Stuart’s entrepreneurial spirit culminated in the founding of Cambridge Advisory Group (CAG), an entity that swiftly garnered acclaim for its unwavering commitment to objectivity, independence, and prowess in data and analytics. CAG’s clientele spanned Fortune 200 companies, market analysts, and government bodies, including the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), among others. Stuart’s leadership and vision catapulted CAG into a domain of influence, ultimately leading to its acquisition by Risk Strategies in December 2021. Presently, Stuart serves as a Managing Director, spearheading Risk Strategies Consulting (RSC) and reinforcing his position as an industry luminary.

Stuart’s propensity for innovation and convergence of disparate fields led to the co-founding of Certilytics in 2014, a pioneering Machine Based Learning (MBL) platform revolutionizing healthcare and insurance industries. This venture seamlessly amalgamated his expertise in game theory and chaos theory, honed during his tenure in national security, with the burgeoning field of healthcare analytics, marking a paradigm shift in industry methodologies.
