Interim & Fractional Leadership
Sometimes an organization doesn't need another analysis, it needs someone to walk in and lead. Incline provides embedded interim and fractional actuarial leadership for organizations navigating leadership gaps, crisis response, or the ongoing need for actuarial authority without the cost of a full-time executive hire.
Interim Executive Leadership
Colby Schaeffer served as Interim CFO for Oklahoma's Medicaid agency (Oklahoma Health Care Authority), stepping into an executive finance role during a period of significant organizational need. That experience shapes how Incline approaches interim engagements: not as an outside advisor delivering recommendations from a distance, but as an embedded leader accountable for the organization's financial and actuarial direction until a permanent solution is in place.
Jerry Rea brings similar capability from the payer side, having led rapid-response actuarial and operational teams at CVS-Aetna tasked with diagnosing and resolving critical issues under pressure. That "SWAT team" experience, moving quickly, identifying the real problem, and driving toward resolution, defines how Incline operates in any interim capacity.
Diagnostic-First Engagement
Before recommending a solution, we diagnose the actual problem. Incline's leadership has sat inside state Medicaid agencies and national health plans, giving us the ability to walk into an unfamiliar organization, assess what's genuinely broken versus what merely looks broken, prioritize accordingly, and connect the dots for other leaders and team members. This diagnostic-first approach prevents wasted effort on the wrong fix and builds trust with the teams we're working alongside.
Fractional Chief Actuary
Not every organization needs, or can justify, a full-time Chief Actuary. Incline provides fractional Chief Actuary services, bringing actuarial signing authority, governance oversight, and strategic direction on an ongoing, scaled basis. This allows organizations to maintain actuarial rigor and compliance without the overhead of a permanent executive hire.
Why It Matters
Leadership gaps can't wait for a convenient hiring timeline. Incline's interim and fractional leadership offerings provide organizations immediate access to executive-level support in the actuarial and financial oversight areas, backed by direct experience inside the organizations we serve.
