With expertise in leading large, global projects related to security, regulatory compliance, and audits, I have spent the last 15+ years of my career with Optum, a division of United Health Group – the largest healthcare insurance company in the US. One of my greatest strengths is the ability to build confidence and trust with senior leadership and others throughout a large organization. With the executive presence to deliver messages with clear and concise project objectives and an exceptional record of leading large, geographically dispersed teams, I am able to forge strong, mutually beneficial relationships with stakeholders and foster cross-functional collaboration. As United Health Group’s primary tool for growth is acquisitions, I have been involved in more than 100 M&As. As a result of this experience, I have developed best practices for integrations and learned how to navigate the tactical and cultural aspects of acquisitions. I excel at:★ Managing multimillion-dollar projects with cost-effective solutions that maintain stringent timelines★ Guiding enterprise security activities across multiple business units and coordinating multiple security deployments to maintain corporate baselines and architectural standards. ★ Cultural sensitivity within a global company, managing large onshore and offshore employees within a highly siloed corporate environmentWhen I’m not working, you can find me spending time with family, hiking, getting back into mountain biking and competitive road riding, or operating my amateur Ham radio. I have lived in Germany and speak fluent German.
