“I am grateful for the opportunity and excited to build upon our near 50-year history of service excellence with a relentless focus on our clients’ evolving needs in a highly complex industry,” said Collins. “The quality of a professional services firm is a direct reflection of its people, and I am privileged to be surrounded by the most talented and dedicated healthcare consultants in the business.”
Edmiston praised Collins for his past work with ECG and expressed confidence in his ongoing leadership. “This role is a natural fit for Chris,” Edmiston remarked. “He is a highly respected leader, embodies the values of our firm, and gets results. I and our senior executive team look forward to working more closely with him in this next chapter at ECG.”
Collins currently resides in Wellesley, Massachusetts (15 miles west of Boston) with his wife and three teenage children. He will continue to be based in ECG’s Boston office in this new role.
