Ken Reiher

After more than 20 years of consulting and management experience in healthcare, I understand how quickly things can shift. My prior work in revenue cycle, finance, corporate compliance and auditing helped me appreciate the importance of building relationships to develop strategies and facilitate required change. In my current role as VP of Operations for ComplyAssistant, I wear quite a few hats, managing business operations, supporting consulting engagements, assisting with product development and supporting client engagement. I enjoy working directly with clients, listening to their needs, and working hand-in-hand with the software development team to create solutions that work for the modern needs of security and compliance in healthcare and other verticals. I received my BS and MBA degrees from Fairleigh Dickinson University Madison. And, I’m honored in my role to contribute to various industry publications, and to be affiliated with HIMSS (NJ, NY, Delaware Valley and National), NJPCA, NJAMHAA and HFMA (NJ and National).
