Greg Moody

Greg Moody is Director of Professional Development at the John Glenn College of Public Affairs. He coordinates continuing education programs that are designed to serve public and nonprofit professionals across a lifetime of leadership in public service, including nonpartisan leadership training and education for current and future elected officials in state and local government. Greg joined the faculty after 24 years of public service in state and federal government.

Prior to his appointment, Greg served as the executive director of Ohio Governor John Kasich’s Office of Health Transformation. His team gained national attention for its creativity in coordinating multiple state agencies to improve overall health system performance. Under Greg’s leadership, Ohio launched nation-leading reforms that reduced the state’s uninsured rate to the lowest level on record, improved care coordination for the most vulnerable Ohioans, integrated physical and behavioral health services, increased access to home and community based alternatives to institutions, created an online eligibility option for all of the state’s income-tested programs, and replaced outdated fee-for-service payment systems that reward more care with value-based models that reward better care.

Greg began his public service career studying the impact of Medicaid on federal spending for the U.S. House Budget Committee under then-Chairman Kasich. He also served as chief of staff for Dean Bernadine Healy at The Ohio State University College of Medicine, executive assistant for health and human services for Ohio Governor Bob Taft, and interim director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. He worked in the private sector as a senior consultant at Health Management Associates, a national health care research and consulting firm, assisting clients to improve health system performance and writing extensively about state health system innovations for the National Governors Association, Commonwealth Fund and other foundations.

Greg has a Masters in Philosophy from George Washington University and a Bachelors in Economics from Miami University. In addition to health policy, his career experience and personal interests include economic policy, public administration and management, public budgeting and finance, and public sector leadership.
