Lynnette Orme Email & Phone Number

Lynnette Orme is a Medical Informatics Analyst - Senior Principal (Behavioral Health) at Blue Shield of California. Colleagues describe her as "One couldn't ask for a better finance partner,” In 2019 I started managing Lynnette in her dual role as Chief Financial Officer and Director of an Eligibility Operations team. In that time, I’ve grown to rely heavily on her candid, creative, and collaborative approach to working on the company’s finances and general operations. She is thoughtful about the business needs and is very conscientious about impacts on clients, members, providers, or employees. She is a calm and trusted leader who embraces innovative mission-oriented thinking while keeping the leadership team grounded in our fiscal realities. During our annual budgeting and financial planning process, she works one-on-one with the department heads to develop appropriate staffing and the best allocation of resources – thus keeping the leadership team both informed and accountable. The healthcare industry constantly changes, and we frequently get mandates without resources, so her adaptability and creativity have been very important to us. In response to Federal legislation, she and her technical staff helped us avoid very high IT enhancement costs by creating a simple-to-use Excel tool. As a response to a reduction in staff, she reorganized the multi-source underwriting data into a tool that demonstrated each group’s profitability and allowed the company to reduce the time to bid from weeks to days. This same tool helped ensure that each renewal and bid was profitable. Within our executive leadership team, she has been an invaluable participant in the brainstorming process – pushing to get to the best possible solutions for the enterprise. She cares deeply about her staff and her team members have great engagement and maintain exemplary performance, outcomes, and deliverables. These accomplishments are a testament to Lynnette as a leader. And last, but not least, we enjoy her sense of humor and insights. She has my highest endorsement." and "My experience working with Lynnette can be summarized with just a few words - THE BEST BOSS EVER. Lynnette is a forward thinker who's always looking for a better way of doing things. She successfully lead our team's migration onto SAP working not only as our director but also as a SME in financial operations, industry best practices, and business processes. As a great mentor, she offers immense support to her subordinates and is always encouraging of our development - whether it's personal or professional. I can't say enough good things about Lynnette and only wish that I can have the opportunity to work as closely with her again in the future."
