I greatly look forward to working with the talented colleagues at Sedgwick to advance its "caring counts" approach to client relations and client services. Further, I am excited to learn more about Sedgwick's clients' risk management needs and to help them in any way I can. I have much gratitude to the Walmart Global Risk Management team members for their drive and focus on quality claim outcomes, proactive claims practices, fair resolutions, taking care of injured associates, efficiency and innovation. Without the hard work of this team, I would not have this opportunity. Likewise, much thanks goes to Walmart Inc. for allowing me to serve the company for 18 years during period of tremendous growth. In closing, I would be remiss not to mention the amazing friendships and partnerships I have formed with so many of my fellow risk managers, attorneys, TPAs, service providers, insurers and brokers. I have learned so much from so many of you -- some lessons learned the hard way.... Show less
