Founder and CEO, Mployer

Brian Freeman is the Founder and CEO of Mployer, a benefits technology company that helps employers and insurance brokers evaluate benefits programs using proprietary data. His career has centered on analytics across employer-sponsored care, spanning healthcare delivery, insurance, and the broker channel, with a focus on building solutions that help healthcare flow more easily for everyone involved. He founded Mployer in 2020 after a decade at HCA Healthcare, where he focused on building analytics to understand how employer-sponsored care is used and how patients move through the healthcare system. He holds a BSM in Finance from Tulane University and an MBA in Finance from Wake Forest University. He lives in Nashville with his wife and their two children.

“We have a significant opportunity to greatly improve the way patients on employer-sponsored care interact with and utilize healthcare. I loved my time at HCA. The culture, the people across every part of the company, and the chance to help people at scale in their most critical moments made it an awesome privilege and responsibility. I feel the same way about Mployer. We have the privilege of working with the leading brokerages across America to support them and their employer partners, and that’s who we work for.”
