Experience

1. Senior Director- Integrated Absence Management

   Walmart

   Jun 2019 — Present

   Within 6 days, developed and implemented COVID-19 leave policy, which the New York Times editorial page described as “a standard for the rest of the private sector.” I forged strategic partnerships with executive leadership to reach agreement on a range of benefit issues; I also provide cost-benefit analyses, forecasting and trend reviews of current and proposed benefit offerings. I ensure all plans are compliant with laws and monitor emerging benefits legislation. I analyze costs and forecasts and incorporate them into business plans, while measuring outcomes and identifying and capitalizing on improvement opportunities.
