ABOUT KRIS KOSTYO
Award winning professional with a proven record of accomplishment in Healthcare, Insurance, and Manufacturing industries. Excels in contract/vendor management, strategic IT sourcing, IT contract negotiation, building/developing/directing multidisciplinary teams, project management, process improvement, IT architecture, strategy, and value capture.I moved to procurement/contract management 2016, after 20+ years in IT. At Kindred at Home, I was responsible for all IT categories including clinical applications. Our 3-person team accomplished $60M in EBITDA savings over 24 months prior to being acquired. With Humana’s acquisition of Kindred at Home, my role became focused on the IT hardware, Security, AI, Infrastructure, Mainframe, Cloud, Telecom, and end user compute categories approaching $1B in spend. I’ve personally achieved $14M in hard savings in the first half of 2024, in addition to several million in cost avoidance. My experience in IT has proved invaluable in building relationships and trust with all levels of IT from engineering staff to the CIO. My team is quickly becoming that trusted partner to IT and the business, aligned on providing the best value for the services our business partners need to be successful.
