Donovan Pyle is Managing Partner of Health Compass Consulting and author of the bestselling book Fixing Healthcare. Named the Validation Institute's 2025 Benefits Advisor of the Year, Donovan is one of the nation's leading voices on employer fiduciary risk, having served as Bloomberg Law's Subject Matter Expert on the rising wave of ERISA fiduciary litigation and class-action trends targeting employers and their benefits advisors.

Donovan created the APIM™ framework (Assess, Procure, Implement, Manage) and the Fiduciary Governance Protocol™, proprietary methodologies that help organizations close the gap between how they manage healthcare benefits and the legal fiduciary standard they're actually held to. His work has helped employers recover millions in unnecessary healthcare spend while building governance infrastructure that stands up to regulatory and legal scrutiny.

A frequent speaker at national conferences including NABIP, DisruptHR, RosettaFest, and the YOU Powered Symposium, Donovan translates complex ERISA fiduciary concepts into practical, board-ready action for Total Rewards, HR, and Finance leaders alike. He holds the REBC, CHVP, and SHRM-SCP professional designations.
