Professional Journey

FEI Systems builds and runs case management and health information technology for public-sector health and human services programs. Its Blue Compass platform covers long-term services and supports, behavioral health case management, incident management, claims and invoice management, and consent management. The company also works in Medicaid waiver management, emergency medical response and global health. It says it has served these markets for 25 years.

Garigen is FEI’s Chief Financial Officer and sits on a leadership team led by Chief Executive Officer Craig Steffen, with Dr. Jiao-Zhong Gu as chairman of the board. His remit is wider than a typical finance brief. Besides running finance and accounting, he is responsible for talent management. FEI’s description of his background stresses client-facing work: it says he has worked directly with clients and strategic vendors to deliver technology solutions in health and human services, not only in internal finance.

No dated source establishes when he joined FEI or became CFO, and no first-party source describes his earlier employers. Both are left out rather than taken from scraped profiles.
