The Orthotic and Prosthetic Group of America (OPGA), a division of VGM & Associates, announced that Jeff Kessler will be the director of OPGA effective October 1.
Kessler brings over a decade of experience across multiple roles within the VGM community. Most recently, he served as partner account manager at VGM & Associates. He began his career at VGM in managed care, advancing to workers’ compensation operations specialist, and holding roles in Club Procure, provider relations, and VGM Market Data.
“I have a deep respect for the skill, expertise, and value that O&P clinics, clinicians, and manufacturers bring to the patients they serve,” said Kessler. “While this is an endlessly rewarding field, the barriers to long-term viability for our shared mission continue to grow.”
“Jeff has been deeply involved in the orthotics and prosthetics space for many years, and his experience working closely with manufacturers, distributors, and service providers makes him an exceptional fit for this role,” said Tyler Mahncke, senior vice president of clinical mobility and accessibility, VGM & Associates.
