“We are pleased to welcome Mike to the organization,”  Michael Donnelly, vice president and general manager, Federal Pharmacy Division of Express Scripts said in a statement. “With more than 25 years of leadership experience in workers’ compensation, claims management and pharmacy, Mike is well poised to lead this organization.”

In this role, Cirillo will set the strategic direction for myMatrixx, helping to grow the business and assist with the integration activities already underway since the acquisition of myMatrixx in May 2017.

“Through merging the core capabilities of Express Scripts and myMatrixx, the organization continues to deliver superior clinical expertise, advanced analytics and customized client experiences,” said Donnelly.

Underlining the growing need for novel workers’ compensation solutions, myMatrixx’ efforts to curtail the opioid epidemic continue to drive results, with double-digit decreases in opioid spending year-over-year.

Most recently, Cirillo served as president of Specialty Solutions Rx, where he helped deliver cost-reduction solutions to national accounts and payers by enabling better patient outcomes. He holds an MBA from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a concentration in Accounting from Western New England College.
