CEO AND CO-FOUNDER, EVOLENT HEALTH, ARLINGTON COUNTY
Virginia Business// August 29, 2024//
Blackley founded Evolent Health in 2011 with fellow Harvard Business School alums Frank Williams and Tom Peterson with a goal of providing technology to help health systems shifting to value-based care — where payment is connected to patient outcomes.
In 2015, Evolent debuted on the New York Stock Exchange, raising $195 million. Initially serving as president of the company, Blackley became CEO in 2020 when Williams stepped down.
A graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (who continues to be a Tar Heels basketball fan), Blackley started his career in 2001 as an analyst in the Washington, D.C., office of consulting firm McKinsey & Co. Later, he joined The Advisory Board, a global health care research, consulting and technology firm, where he worked with Williams and Peterson.
In June, Evolent announced plans to acquire an exclusive, perpetual and royalty-free license of Machinify Auth, a platform that uses artificial intelligence to increase the quality, speed and consistency of clinical reviews. The company reported fiscal 2023 revenue of $1.96 billion, 45% growth over 2022.
