Physician Partners LLC, a Tampa-based primary care physician group and managed service organization, has hired Goran Jankovic to fill the role of chief financial officer, effective June 27.

According to a news release, Jankovic brings more than 20 years of corporate finance and operational leadership, 15 of which have been in the health care industry, to Physician Partners. His past roles include senior vice president of corporate finance at WellCare Health Plans.

“We’re excited to be appointing Goran as a member of our leadership team,” Physician Partners CEO Mike Polen states in the release. “He has significant experience managing all aspects of corporate finance and driving meaningful value creation for an organization. His background in health care growth organizations, both on the provider and payor side, is a perfect fit for what we are working to accomplish in this rapidly evolving world of value-based health care.”
