Business Honor
27 June, 2025

Oliver Wyman will acquire Validate Health to enhance its data-driven healthcare and actuarial consulting capabilities.

Global management consulting firm Oliver Wyman will acquire Chicago-based healthcare analytics firm Validate Health in a deal that deepens its strength in the healthcare consulting and actuarial sector. The deal is anticipated to close in the summer of 2025. Established in 2017, Validate Health offers sophisticated analytics solutions to ACOs and healthcare providers. Its proprietary models rebuild the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) methodology, enabling clients to simulate numerous strategic scenarios and manage risk better, optimize care programs, and enhance financial performance.

Post-acquisition, Validate Health will be part of Oliver Wyman's actuarial consulting practice, comprising more than 600 professionals worldwide and 300 credentialed actuaries. Post-merger integration is intended to strengthen Oliver Wyman's data-driven advisory capabilities in life, property and casualty, and healthcare markets. "By bringing our intimate actuarial and policy knowledge together with Validate Health's data solutions, we are leading the way in creating an analytics platform that enables clients to enhance healthcare delivery and improve efficiency," stated David Weinsier, partner and global life and health leader at Oliver Wyman Actuarial.

The acquisition supports Oliver Wyman's overall management consulting strategy to grow domain-specific expertise and provide end-to-end solutions in areas of strategy, operations, digital transformation, and risk management. Oliver Wyman, which has more than 7,000 employees worldwide and annual revenues of $3.4 billion, is a subsidiary of Marsh McLennan, a professional services giant with $24.5 billion in annual revenue. Andrew Webster, a Validate Health co-founder, said, "Combining with Oliver Wyman provides us with reach, actuarial and insurance acumen, and synergistic skillsets to accelerate our purpose of improving healthcare through data." The deal illustrates a trend across the industry toward consolidated, analytics-driven consulting services in healthcare.
