ClearPoint Health has named Johannes ‘Lowell’ Cloete as its new chief financial officer. Cloete brings more than 30 years of leadership experience to the role, including expertise across insurance, healthcare and risk management. Before joining ClearPoint Health, Cloete co-founded ELMC Risk Solutions, a managing general underwriter specialising in medical stop loss and managed care. His prior experience also includes senior roles at FOJP Service Corporation, T&H Group (now part of Alliant Insurance), AIG and Deloitte. At ClearPoint Health, Cloete joins a leadership team focused on connecting small and mid-sized employers with alternative funding solutions, including captive insurance, medical stop loss, level funding, cost management and pharmacy programmes. The company also provides benefit advisor training and support through its Alternative Funding Centre of Excellence. Jeb Dunkelberger, CEO of ClearPoint Health, says: “ClearPoint and the employers we serve will benefit immensely from the addition of Lowell.” “He is not only a decorated industry veteran who has stretched the industry gamut — working directly with alternative funding products, brokerages, underwriting, and everything in between — he is a wonderful human and is invested in multiple initiatives targeting large-scale impact for those who need it most.” Dunkelberger adds that Cloete “embodies the energy of our transparent and ethical marketplace” and would help steer the company as it continues to grow. Commenting on his appointment, Cloete says: “ClearPoint Health is a company blazing a new trail to make transparent and controllable health insurance products easy to access for small and mid-sized employers. “We strive for efficiency and cost-efficacy, while balancing against an improvement in patient outcomes.”
