As a senior executive and change architect, I lead large-scale transformation programs and navigate organizations through the complexity of connecting strategy to execution. I am passionate about coaching high-performing teams to achieve strategic objectives that enable organizations to gain sustainable competitive advantage and deliver value to their customers and employees. As Voya Financial’s Chief Transformation Officer, I led the CEO-sponsored program to scale the organization and drive operational efficiency through transformation and innovation after the multi-billion-dollar sales of Voya’s life and annuity businesses. In other executive roles, I led teams on key acquisitions and divestitures with a focus on operational integration and separation, and also led the execution team for ING U.S.'s extremely successful IPO and rebranding as Voya Financial.𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀➤ Led Voya’s Enterprise Transformation - through the pandemic with entire team (300+) working remotely - exceeding goals, ahead of schedule, delivering hundreds of millions in OpEx savings.➤ Consulted for Fortune 500 companies across multiple industries, with projects spanning the creation of new service delivery models, global system implementations, acquisitions and divestitures, technology and operations outsourcing, automation and digitization, performance management design, and enterprise-wide organizational change.➤ Led the execution team in ING U.S.’s separation from the Netherland’s-based ING Group, rebranding of the organization as Voya Financial, achieving the second-best performing IPO that year.➤ Executed programs that have collectively delivered over $1B in savings.𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗼𝗽𝗵𝘆Leading change initiatives requires attention-to-detail, strategic forward-thinking, and an ability to solve problems. I focus on establishing clear objectives, inspiring change, and empowering teams to exercise autonomy to innovatively achieve results. With the right balance of humor, mutual respect, and transparent communication, I’ve consistently delivered results, often exceeding targets ahead of schedule, while balancing employee engagement and impact. Outside of the office, I’m still drawn to improvement projects and enjoy renovating houses. Through these projects, I modernize and fix what is broken, but maintain the property’s bones and character. Similarly, when approaching a business transformation, I strategically optimize operations and solve problems, while staying true to the organization’s mission and values.
