I am a seasoned professional with 19+ years of risk management and claims litigation experience in diverse sectors. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for claims and litigation management, as well as for strategic planning and process optimization, I have a verifiable history of contributing directly to company growth and expansion throughout my career. As such, I have consistently exceeded performance goals, and I am adept at achieving optimal results with minimal obstacles. Professional focal points include risk analysis and mitigation, standards adherence, counsel advisement, investigation management, partner relations, and team training and leadership. Delivering superior administration on the latter areas of expertise requires utilization of effective communication and prioritization skills, as well as critical thinking, decision making, problem solving, and data analysis to support positive outcomes. Currently, I am the Risk Manager - Product and General Liability Complex Claims with Amazon. Under my leadership, I direct and oversee challenging product liability and general liability claims along with mass tort claims, product recalls, class actions, and catastrophic claims. I play a key role in settlement conferences, mediations, trials, and arbitrations, consistently negotiating and successfully settling large complex claims. In addition, I liaise with senior leadership, stakeholders, and both outside and inside counsel to ensure the company’s risk mitigation support structure is driving the business forward with minimal expenditures.Colleagues describe me as a progressive, driven, down-to-earth, risk management and claims administration expert who can be relied on to offer superior solutions that consistently deliver desirable results.
