About Samantha Fannon

I am a seasoned project and program manager with over 15 years of experience. I excel at taking complex programs and creating clear paths forward to drive successful outcomes. With a proven track record of solving difficult problems in highly regulated industries for both internal and external customers, I design and lead programs for some of the most critical initiatives within the organization. With acquisition integrations, I develop programs that support smooth transitions for acquired companies and their people, processes, and technology into our organization. I embrace ambiguity, thrive on stretch assignments, and adapt quickly.In addition to my individual contributions, I am passionate about the team of project and program managers I lead, who also support M&A integrations, strategic initiatives, and business resiliency and continuity efforts. I believe we can accomplish great things if we understand the goals we are trying to achieve.Recent Achievements:• Successfully integrated multiple acquired companies into LexisNexis Risk Solutions, ensuring seamless transitions for people, processes, and technology.• Attracted, hired, and onboarded critical talent to drive additional capacity to support complex, non-BAU programs.• Continuously breaking down walls between silos, fostering collaboration and positive partnerships across a highly matrixed organization.• Developed a modern M&A integration program that is used across multiple business units and is regarded as the gold standard across the organization.• Led a highly successful regulatory response program involving over 700 employees across multiple business units, establishing a new precedent for managing and leading large-scale, cross-silo initiatives, and transforming our business operations.
