About Jacob Rangel

Jon Coss founded Pondera Solutions in 2011 with one goal – to fight fraud in healthcare and government programs. Under his leadership, Pondera became the leader in fraud, waste, and abuse data analytics. Jon’s strategy combines the brightest minds in government program integrity with innovative data scientists and developers to create a powerful anti-fraud platform.

Pondera Solutions was acquired by Thomson Reuters for $125 M. Jon wrote the story of Pondera in his book, A Ten-Year Overnight Success: The Inspiring Story of a Business You’ve Never Heard of.

Jon has now started his next venture, Plum Identity which uses machine learning and behavioral analytics to detect online fraud. He is a also frequent speaker at Healthcare, Social Services, and technology events and conferences, in addition to being interviewed by the NBC Today show, CBS, NBC, ABC, and FOX newscasts, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, Bloomberg News, Fortune Magazine, and Politico.

Jon holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a Master of Business Administration from New York University, and a LEAD Certificate in Corporate Innovation from the Stanford University Graduate School of Business. Jon is also active in local entrepreneurship efforts and is an advisory board member for the UC Davis Student Startup Center.
