Meet the Industry's Most Innovative Team

Brian is a visionary, leading Elevate in leveraging the latest financial technology that makes consumer directed benefits easier to understand and use for employees and their families. Prior to founding Elevate, Brian led the team at Businessolver that developed and launched a proprietary, in-house consumer directed benefits solution for Fortune 100, state government, and mid-sized business clients.

Brian Cosgray

As co-founder and CTO, Brian is involved in every aspect of Elevate’s development and sets the technology vision. As the former CTO and co-founder of ConnectYourCare, an industry leader recently acquired by Optum, Brian wrote the original code for its platform 20 years ago in his apartment. Now, he’s applying all the lessons learned from two decades of experience to the Elevate platform.

Melanie joined Elevate at its public launch to lead its growth with the same success she had achieved in her prior two roles. Melanie spent 13 years at WageWorks, taking it from a venture-backed startup to IPO to acquisition by HealthEquity. During this time, her team was directly responsible for generating over 25% of company-wide revenues through over 100 partnerships and large Fortune 100 relationships. Between WageWorks and joining Elevate, Melanie led growth at BenefitExpress to a successful strategic acquisition.

Melanie Hallenbeck

Scott brings his experience as the former COO of WageWorks to Elevate, where he ensures that each client has an effortless experience from day one. Scott also served as VP of Customer Care at McKesson and held various leadership roles within Fidelity Investment’s benefits administration practice. Scott’s passion is to leverage the latest technologies so that customers won’t require help, but his team is ready to deliver an outstanding experience should they ever need it.
