Libby Connolly Alexander is an experienced business leader and philanthropist who serves on the boards of several well-known businesses and organizations.  She served as Chief Executive Officer of Connolly, Inc. from 2012 to 2014, leading the company through its acquisition of iHealth Technologies. She then served as the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of the combined organization, Cotiviti, as it went public in May of 2016 at a market valuation of $2.55 billion.  Two years later, Cotiviti was acquired by Veritas Capital-backed healthcare data solutions provider Verscend at a transaction value of $4.89 billion.

Libby established her company’s healthcare practice in 1998 and was responsible for building it into a leader in the payment analytics and integrity space prior to the sale of the company.  Cotiviti’s clients included 20 of the top 25 largest U.S. healthcare insurers, eight of the top 10 U.S. retailers, and the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid (CMS).  

Libby is also the author Figuring It Out, a memoir of her experience taking Connolly from a PC-driven data mining and analytics company into the untapped healthcare payment integrity industry, harnessing a growth engine along the way unlike any previously leveraged.
