About Us

When Nate Randall founded Ursa Major Consulting, he was determined to bring the same forward-thinking principles that guide dynamic organizations across industries into the employee benefits space. Drawing from his years of experience as a benefits consultant and manager for Milliman USA, Northern Trust, Washington Mutual and Safeway, Nate left his role as Head of Global Benefits and Employee Experience at Tesla Motors to develop the concept that has become Ursa Major Consulting.

​We believe that organizations of all sizes benefit when they collaborate with the brightest thinkers and integrate enterprising solutions. To drive results, we operate lean and implore independent and transparent principles. Our flat fee is designed to deliver nothing less than successful employee benefits outcomes for our clients. 
 
By thinking big and employing an entrepreneurial mindset, we find creative solutions to employee health, financial wellness, fitness, and lifestyle rewards. 

At this point in my career, I want to be able to influence the benefits industry in ways that provide more value to everyone—employers, workers and their families.”
