Dec 2017 - Nov 2019
Following Optum's acquisition of The Advisory Board Company, I took on the management of a department of 75 staff members responsible for service and renewals of all domestic hospital and health system clients of Advisory Board Research products. This included over 3,500 clients and renewable revenue of roughly $100 million. During this time, I leveraged my experience in change management to lead Client Management staff through the integration with Optum. While personally learning the Optum business alongside staff, I established a new client management structure, built confidence in our new leadership, achieved key renewal KPIs, and created a culture that resulted in the retention of 90% of key talent.

General Manager, Key Accounts
-
Jan 2017 - Nov 2017
I worked with senior leadership to build and implement a cross-functional “member centric” model in an effort to improve client relationships and achieve growth. Under this new organization structure, I directly managed seven nationwide Principal-led teams responsible for contract renewal and growth at leading health systems. I guided Principals in mapping executive priorities to the Advisory Board's solutions for new sales and streamlined internal account management and sales processes to reduce barriers to growth and maintain client loyalty.

Managing Director, Growth Accounts
-
Mar 2014 - Dec 2016
As Managing Director, I oversaw three client management and sales teams across a variety of client segments and Research product lines. In addition, I also operated the risk management function of the Research business, guiding a team of six Senior Directors on complex renewal contract negotiations, proactively assessing the high-risk segment of the business to improve NPS, client engagement and renewal rates. I personally served as the escalation point for C-suite clients to address challenging feedback, navigate troubled situations, and directly negotiate large, complex renewal contracts. After receiving feedback from both staff and clients, I conducted a time/productivity study across teams to understand how workload may be impacting the ability to prioritize and serve client needs. Based on results, I collaborated with our operations team and together we designed a budget-neutral internal centralized operations model to support client management teams, which decreased inefficiencies and improved productivity on the priorities of the business.

Feb 2010 - Feb 2014
As Senior Director, I supervised a mid-level client management team for community hospitals and small to mid-sized health systems. During this time, I developed rising staff, achieved over 100% of revenue targets and key KPIs, and created a culture that improved employee engagement scores by 20%. I also worked closely with our Research leads, developing communication and service strategy for our Community Hospital segment.

Director, Office of the Chairman

Nov 2008 - Jan 2010
At the end of 2008, I was selected to pilot a "risk management" role, with the goal being to improve the health and relationships of C-Suite hospital and health system executives within a carefully selected pool of key "high touch" organizations. I personally oversaw this $5M pool and conducted in person visits with key executives to directly address concerns, feedback and recover challenging situations. I led the strategy and worked with the respective client management teams to improve relationships and successfully outperformed the expected renewal targets. I also collected market feedback and worked with Research teams to enhance offerings and collateral by program. Given the success of the pilot, the team expanded to a team of 4 by July 2009.
