Excellence in technology: Nava Benefits' chief product officer is reshaping the benefits marketplace

The benefits landscape notoriously lacks transparency, with HR teams often purchasing benefits through brokers whose incentives can at times be murky. So how can HR access benefits on their own terms?

Donald DeSantis, co-founder and chief product officer at benefits brokerage Nava Benefits, is working on creating the answer. DeSantis has led Nava's product and engineering team in building Nava Benefits Search Engine, a search engine that allows users to shop for benefits across 28 categories without a special login or fee.

"There are some fantastic brokers out there, but there are a lot of not fantastic brokers out there as well," says DeSantis. "We wanted to provide something that was trustworthy and unbiased."

DeSantis and his team have dedicated themselves to expanding the vendors within the search engine as well as the reviews and information on each benefit available to users. Putting access and visibility first, DeSantis shares how he is working to revolutionize the benefits marketplace.
