Mr. Thierer has been instrumental in redefining the way pharmacy benefits are managed by successfully merging two industry-leading PBMs — SXC Health Solutions and Catalyst Health Solutions — to create Catamaran, a $10 billion company scaled to drive significant client savings. In his interview, he stated that “by acquiring our own clients who are running on our technology platform, we are executing on a pure play roll-up strategy.” This strategy has now paid off in an exit to one of the largest health care companies in the United States.
