About Stephen Benotti

I help organizations turn strategy into delivered outcomes. Most complex initiatives don’t stall because the strategy is wrong — they stall because execution becomes fragmented across teams, priorities, and ownership. I work with leadership to bring structure, alignment, and momentum to high-stakes programs where the work is ambiguous, cross-functional, and too important to fail.Areas of Expertise: IT and Business Integration | Strategy Execution | Operating Model and Process Innovation | Change Management | Building and Leading Teams | Project Financials | Risk Management | Achievements:* Print Communications TAT improved from 35% to 99.99% on time (PBM).* Led a workstream critical to lifting CMS sanction (PBM).* Reduction in print vendor overhead and performance guarantee payouts of over $5M.* Re-engineered a claims adjudication function creating $75k in monthly run-rate savings and, more significantly, reducing regulatory risk with CMS.* Materially contributed to an overall reduction in annual PBM operating cost of over $20M, leading to our department winning the company’s prestigious and coveted (Breakthrough Award).* Successfully guided the divestiture of Entertainment One from Hasbro, meeting the goal of realizing $375M non-operating income on their 2023 financials - Carve outs, future operating model, data room, value-at-risk mitigation, etc.Earlier Experience:* Mercer Consulting, Project Lead for a Cognos reporting Implementation for Kaiser Permanente* Fidelity Workplace Consulting, Data Consulting for Fortune 50 clients, including AT & T and Bank of America* Fidelity Investments, Led corporate client onboarding and transaction integration effort - e.g, Ford, AT & T Wireless, Jim Beam, and many others
