Following the successful acquisition of Hodges-Mace by Alight, I assumed leadership of the newly established Alight Benefits Guidance (ABG) practice. As Practice Leader, I oversaw business development, P&L management, client retention strategies, and scaling initiatives for personalized, guided services and innovative technologies.Within 12 months, we nearly doubled the division’s size by driving client-centric solutions and aligning operations with enterprise-wide strategies across Alight. My focus on growth, operational efficiency, and client engagement played a critical role in delivering scalable results and enhancing market impact.

Joined Alight/Hodges-Mace in 2015 (benefit B2B SaaS-based technology solutions) and developed the sales organization into a national team, with new technical resources and sales operations, while increasing overall sales by approximately 50%. Then led our strategic partnerships focused on HCM/payroll, private-equity funds, third-party evaluators, medical payers, group carriers and national consulting partnerships. Between the two roles, and as an integral part of an 8-person executive leadership team (backed by Stone Point Capital), helped the company through the acquisition process, ultimately resulting in a positive sale to Alight.
