Co-host, Michael Navin

Michael Navin is focused on disrupting the healthcare industry for ​the better.  Through his first healthcare venture of which Michael was the founder, Element Marketing Group (EMG), they launched over 150 pharmaceutical brand​products. EMG also developed a software known as Element Access–a proprietary ​digitized pull-through detail aid that was the first of its kind in the industry. In 2014,​ EMG was acquired by WPP, under the Ogilvy Health umbrella, with the explicit​purpose of growing the Element Access platform and expanding their managed​ markets footprint in the United States. As a result, multiple unique brands utilize this​ platform with great success to this day. After his time with Ogilvy, he founded Peek Healthcare​Technologies, Inc. with the mission of making prescription drugs more ​accessible and affordable for the patient. Peek introduced a game-changing prescription​shopping solution, Peek Meds Marketplace, that allows its members to view all their prescription cost options​across cash discount programs, manufacturer copay offset programs, and their insurance in one easy-to-use platform. The Peek Meds Marketplace is​currently being offered to organizations to help both employees and plan sponsors​save money on their prescription spend. Learn more by visiting​ peekmeds.com.
