Alignment Healthcare has named Jim Head its new CFO.
Mr. Head joins Alignment from Claritev, formerly known as MultiPlan, according to a May 1 news release. He served as MultiPlan’s executive vice president and CFO from November 2021 to August 2024 and has since served as capital structure advisor, according to his LinkedIn profile. He also previously held senior executive leadership roles at merchant banking firm BDT & Company and at Morgan Stanley.
He succeeds Thomas Freeman, who spent eight years as Alignment’s CFO and 10 years at the company overall. He will transition into a strategic advisor role to help ensure a smooth handover of CFO responsibilities and support Alignment’s long-term strategy and key partnerships.
“[Mr. Freeman’s] contributions helped guide Alignment’s financial growth from a local health plan to a nationally recognized leader in Medicare Advantage,” Alignment founder and CEO John Kao said in the release. “Alignment is now in the strongest financial and competitive position of its history, and Thomas’s transition to an advisory role reflects the collaborative approach we share in positioning Alignment for sustained success.”
