Brings proven leadership in driving smarter benefits programs

Alliant Insurance Services continues to add top talent to its growing team in the Southeast, hiring Tim Simokonis as Senior Vice President within its Employee Benefits Group. The Florida-based consultant will serve a national client base, focusing on self-funded health plans, data transparency, and fiduciary optimization strategies.

“Alliant’s entrepreneurial culture provides the freedom and flexibility for leaders like Tim to drive innovation,” said Kevin Overbey, President, Alliant Employee Benefits. “His deep knowledge of self-funded health plans, data analytics, and contract negotiation empowers employers to take control of their programs, uncover hidden value, and improve outcomes for their members.”

Simokonis brings more than 18 years of experience helping organizations ranging from innovative startups to Fortune 50 companies rethink how they manage risk and deliver employee benefits. His work focuses on self-funded health plans, including ASO (Administrative Services Only) and PBM (Pharmacy Benefit Management) contract review and negotiation, data-driven performance optimization, and complex risk management.

With recent legislative changes expanding employer access to healthcare data, Simokonis helps organizations harness transparency to identify hidden fees, enhance care delivery, and reduce costs. His analytics-driven approach enables employers to act as true fiduciaries, aligning plan design, data, and performance outcomes to deliver measurable improvements in both cost and employee experience.

Prior to joining Alliant, Simokonis was Vice President with a national insurance brokerage and consulting firm. He holds a bachelor’s degree in American government and entrepreneurship and a master’s degree in public administration from Clark University. Simokonis is also active on several healthcare innovation boards and advisory committees. To connect and learn more, visit his LinkedIn profile.
