Our team
Ed Casey MBA - Founder
With over 30 years of experience in sales, management, and ownership in the
healthcare and medical industries, Ed Casey transitioned to a new focus: helping non-
profit organizations and small to mid-sized businesses reduce costs and enhance
operational efficiency. This shift led to the creation of Summit Purchasing Solutions,
a group purchasing program designed to streamline processes and lower expenses.
During the pandemic, Ed navigated the challenges of business closures and the rise of
remote work by restructuring his company into two key divisions: Summit
Purchasing Solutions and Engaging Workforce Development. These divisions now
provide tailored solutions to optimize operations, whether for non-profits or small to
mid-sized businesses.
In parallel to his business career, Ed has been an Adjunct Instructor for over a decade,
teaching healthcare business courses at the University of Phoenix (Cleveland Campus)
beginning in 2007, and sports and business classes at another institution since 2010.
His role as an educator keeps him closely connected to current trends and challenges
in the business world, providing valuable insights into workforce development,
change management, and organizational sustainability.
