“Paul brings first-hand experience and a deep understanding of medical missions and operational preparedness,” said Chief Executive Officer Chris Burgess. “As a veteran, he thinks like our customers and knows how to meet time-critical mission requirements.”
Ekoniak and the Regulus Global medical team will be available at the Special Operations Medical Association Conference, May 15-19, in Raleigh, North Carolina to meet with customers, partners and business associates.
“I am honored to be joining Regulus and highly energized to contribute toward Regulus Global’s medical missions – from mobile hospitals in developing countries to equipping first responders and special operations teams,” said Medical Director Paul Ekoniak. “At Regulus, our passion is truly getting to know the customer and ensuring we meet their needs not only through preparedness and logistics but also in applying our medical expertise in crisis situations.”
Ekoniak brings more than two decades of experience in the military tactical and corporate medical industries. Prior to joining Regulus, Ekoniak worked as a director of programs at Elevance Health – overseeing the government business team, partner relations, operational oversight, and cross-functional integration.

Additionally, Ekoniak served 11 years in the U.S. Navy conducting operations across a wide domain of austere and highly dynamic regions. As a special forces medical practitioner, he was responsible for the care, clinical treatments and health management of more than 1,200 forward deployed personnel. Ekoniak managed the procurement, inventory control and training for a deployed clinic consisting of more than 650 evolving medical supplies.
