I am a Business Transformation and Continuous Improvement executive with 20+ years of experience driving enterprise-wide change across healthcare, financial services, and technology. My expertise lies in embedding Lean, Six Sigma, and Operational Excellence into business systems to simplify processes, accelerate scalability, and create measurable, sustainable results.As Senior Vice President of Business Process Transformation at Wintrust Financial, I established a Digital & Continuous Improvement Center of Excellence, aligning enterprise strategy with Lean principles and intelligent automation. Previously, at Health Care Service Corporation, I led multi-state CI and digital transformation programs, deploying 28 RPA bots that eliminated hours of manual work annually and launching Salesforce CRM across four states to improve customer engagement.What sets me apart is the ability to connect vision with execution—guiding CI maturity assessments, leading Gemba-based improvement initiatives, and mentoring senior leaders to build internal capability and a culture of operational discipline.I thrive at the intersection of strategy, process, and technology, serving as a trusted advisor to executive leadership teams. My passion is advancing business system maturity and operational excellence to empower associates, unlock growth, and deliver value to customers.
