  Don Moran

Don Moran founded The Moran Company in 1998 after a twenty-four year career in the health and human services fields.

For the first eleven years of his career, Don was actively involved in the development and implementation of health and human services policy as a government appointee. Beginning as the Administrative Assistant to the Cass County (MI) Board of Commissioners (1974-1975), his early career focused on the design and implementation of employment and training programs. He served as a planning consultant to the Michigan Employment Security Commission (1975-1976) before being appointed as Executive Director of the Barry-Branch-St. Joseph Employment & Training Consortium (1976-77), a Prime Sponsor agency administering programs under the Comprehensive Employment &Training Act in South Central Michigan

Don moved to Washington in 1977 to serve as Legislative Assistant (1977-81) to Congressman Dave Stockman (R-MI). His responsibilities during that period included staffing Mr. Stockman as a member of the Health & Environment Subcommittee of the Committee on Interstate & Foreign Commerce, and serving as staff director of the House Republican Economic Policy Task Force, which Mr.Stockman chaired.

In 1981, Don moved to the U.S. Office of Management & Budget, where he served as Associate Director for Human Resources, Veterans and Labor (1981), and subsequently as Executive Associate Director for Budget & Legislation (1982-1985). In his first OMB assignment, he oversaw policy analysis and budget review for the Departments of Health & Human Services, Labor, Education, and the Veterans Administration. In his subsequent assignment, he managed government-wide budget review operations, and managed OMB's extensive involvement in the Congressional budget and appropriations processes.

Don left OMB in 1985 to join ICF Incorporated, a Washington-based research and consulting firm, as a partner in the firm's Health & Pensions practice. In 1987, Don and his partners merged their business operations with Lewin & Associates, forming Lewin-ICF, which subsequently became a subsidiary of Value Health, Inc, doing business as Lewin-VHI (1992-1996). In 1996, the business was acquired by Quintiles Transnational Corporation, and renamed The Lewin Group. Over Don's thirteen years with the company, it grew from a small boutique operation into the Nation's premier health policy research and consulting firm.

Don left The Lewin Group in June, 1998 to found The Moran Company, in order to expand the scope of his business beyond Lewin's historical base in policy research and consulting. In addition to offering consulting services, The Moran Company offers clients the capacity to design, implement and manage complex projects involving professional and business service vendors from multiple sources. The Moran Company also participates in the formation of new business ventures in the health care field.

Don received a B.S in Mathematics from the University of Illinois in 1973, and subsequently completed a graduate program in employment and training program administration at the University of Michigan in 1977.

From 1987 to 1991, Don served as a Guest Lecturer at the Industrial College of the Armed Forces on topics related to wartime medical readiness. During 1990-98, Don served as a director of DentalCare Partners, a private dental practice management company. Since 1999, he has served as a director of EduNeering, Inc., a private computer-based training company. In 1992-93, he served as a member of the elected Town Council of Glen Echo, Maryland. He is a member of Kenwood Golf & Country Club, where he plays to a handicap that is unacceptably high but unfortunately accurate. He is married to the former Cynthia Calcutt Root, and resides in McLean, Va.
