“Kristen’s substantive, bipartisan approach is a perfect fit for our firm,” said Wynne Health Group Founder and CEO Billy Wynne. “She will add tremendous value for our clients through her strong relationships and deep expertise on the wide array of issues the Energy & Commerce Committee addresses, from Medicaid to the FDA to provider and health plan reimbursement.”
O’Neill will join the firm as Vice President and work out of its office on Capitol Hill.
