Long-time federal health care leader Juanita Wilson has joined RELI Group as client relationship executive, bringing with her more than 30 years of experience in government service. Her role calls for strengthening partnerships with federal health agencies and supporting modernization programs and initiatives on preventing fraud, waste and abuse, RELI said Wednesday.
Vishal Tulsian, company president and chief operating officer, described as “invaluable” the perspective that Wilson has gained as a former senior government executive. “Her insider knowledge of federal processes and priorities amplifies RELI’s ability to partner strategically with agencies and deliver results that advance their mission,” Tulsian said.

Before joining RELI, Wilson had a stint of over 27 years at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, according to her LinkedIn profile. She served in CMS as the director of its Medicare support contracts group, where she oversaw programs supporting the Medicare and Affordable Care Act.

Wilson started her career in government service in 1991 at the Department of Energy, where he served as a contract specialist for over six years, managing major procurements and initiating contract and acquisition strategies.
