Lincoln Haycock is a seasoned healthcare executive whose career reflects a deep commitment to improving how organizations create, measure, and sustain value. With more than seventeen years of professional experience—twelve of those in progressive leadership roles—Lincoln has built a reputation as a thoughtful, results-driven leader who bridges analytics, finance, technology, and strategy to deliver meaningful outcomes. His work is grounded in the belief that data, when aligned with mission and culture, becomes a powerful catalyst for better decisions, stronger organizations, and improved lives.
Currently serving as Chief Analytics Officer at Castell Health, Lincoln operates at the intersection of healthcare delivery, value-based care, and advanced analytics. In this role, he leads a multidisciplinary organization of more than sixty professionals, guiding the development of AI-enabled products, enterprise analytics platforms, and integrated data solutions spanning thirteen electronic medical record systems and twenty-one payer sources. His leadership has helped transform analytics from a support function into a strategic engine that drives performance, accountability, and innovation across the enterprise.
Lincoln’s impact at Castell Health is marked by both scale and substance. Under his leadership, analytics initiatives have supported gross savings of $68 million in a single year across Medicare Advantage and ACO REACH programs, while maintaining strict regulatory compliance and data governance standards. He has overseen the creation and approval of a $30 million, five-year technology and data roadmap, ensuring that long-term investment decisions are tightly aligned with organizational strategy. His sponsorship of a Salesforce rollout simplified workflows and contributed to the equivalent reduction of approximately forty full-time roles, allowing teams to redirect energy toward higher-value work.
Before becoming Chief Analytics Officer, Lincoln served as Data Analytics Director at Castell Health, where he helped shape the organization’s population health and value-based care capabilities during a critical period of growth. He partnered closely with actuaries and payer organizations to negotiate new risk arrangements, developed differentiated testing and measurement frameworks, and established consulting, data science, and architecture teams known for both engagement and performance. These efforts enabled tens of millions of dollars in savings while significantly improving data quality, trust, and usability across the organization.
Earlier in his career, Lincoln held leadership roles at Intermountain Health, FinThrive, and Equation Consulting, each of which contributed to his well-rounded perspective on healthcare operations, finance, and technology. At Intermountain Health, he built strong relationships with senior leaders across population health and finance, signed the department’s first external revenue-generating analytics contract, and served as interim senior director during a key transition period. His ability to step into ambiguity and provide steady leadership became a defining characteristic of his professional brand.
Lincoln’s consulting background sharpened his commercial instincts and deepened his appreciation for execution under pressure. At FinThrive, he led analytics and consulting teams delivering revenue cycle solutions for major healthcare clients, frequently speaking at industry conferences on analytics and product development. At Equation Consulting, he managed large-scale financial turnarounds, developed subscription-based analytics offerings, and built cost accounting and strategic planning models that directly informed capital and operational decisions for health systems across the country.
Education has played a foundational role in shaping Lincoln’s analytical rigor and leadership style. He holds a Master of Health Services Administration from the University of Michigan, where he also earned a certificate in Health Informatics and served as president of the Michigan Healthcare Executive Student Association. During his graduate studies, he taught healthcare financial accounting and served on student boards affiliated with the American College of Healthcare Executives, reinforcing his commitment to mentorship and professional development. He earned his undergraduate degree in Economics from Brigham Young University, graduating cum laude with a strong focus on econometrics, statistics, and business management.
Beyond healthcare, Lincoln brings a perspective that resonates with organizations in adjacent and emerging industries such as electric vehicles and personal finance. His expertise in data-driven decision-making, capital efficiency, and operational scalability translates naturally to sectors navigating regulatory complexity, technological disruption, and margin pressure. He is particularly drawn to companies in the $100 million revenue range with growing teams, where strategic governance and disciplined execution can materially influence long-term success.
Lincoln’s board and advisory experience includes past service on the Castell Health Board, where he contributed executive insight to organizational strategy and governance. Now, with the capacity and desire to give back, he is actively exploring board opportunities where he can both contribute and continue learning. He views board service as a partnership rooted in trust, intellectual honesty, and shared accountability, and he brings a practitioner’s mindset to helping organizations clarify priorities and execute with discipline.
