Piedmont Healthcare announced today the founding partners of Atlanta-based business advisory firm Mandl & Co. have joined the health system and both executives are joining Piedmont’s executive leadership team.
Mike Mandl joins Piedmont as the system’s only Executive Vice President, reporting to CEO Kevin Brown and serving as Brown’s second in command. Mandl will partner with Brown in executing the strategic agenda for Piedmont and oversee a broad range of system functions including finance, strategy and planning, supply chain, real estate and philanthropy.
Prior to co-founding Mandl & Co. in 2016, Mandl served in a number of executive roles with Emory University and Emory Healthcare, most recently as Emory University’s Executive Vice President for Business and Administration. While at Emory, Mandl oversaw finance, investments, human resources, campus planning, real estate, IT and other functions. Earlier in his career, Mandl served in executive roles at Duke University, the University of Pennsylvania, Glaxo Pharmaceuticals and KPMG.

Jack Tillman is also joining Piedmont from Mandl & Co. as Vice President and Chief of Real Estate. Tillman was co-founder and managing director for Mandl & Co., overseeing the firm’s asset management and real estate development projects for clients across the continent.
“One of the consequences of Piedmont’s recent growth has been the sizable growth in our real estate portfolio, from hospitals and medical office buildings to retail properties and land holdings. On top of that, the largest healthcare development in Georgia history is underway on our Piedmont Atlanta campus. Adding Jack’s experience and expertise to our existing real estate and corporate development team will help us maximize our investments and best manage our large and diverse portfolio,” Brown said.
