My background spans both P&L ownership and CFO leadership, enabling me to translate strategy into disciplined execution with predictable financial outcomes.Proven track record of building and scaling new markets, driving margin expansion, and advancing value-based and risk-based provider partnerships. Led the development and deployment of Medicare pathway-to-risk and full-risk models, delivering MLR improvement, improved utilization, and stronger STAR performance.A defining focus of my work has been value-based and risk-based contracting. I spearheaded the development of Cigna’s Medicare pathway-to-risk and full risk models, partnering with high-performing physician groups and hospital systems to drive financial improvement, improve STAR\'s ratings, and enhance member outcomes. I’ve consistently increased the proportion of members aligned to value-based arrangements while strengthening relationships with traditionally hard-to-engage health systems.Earlier in my career, I served as the Southeast Region CFO for the Cigna Group with P&L accountability for $1.3B in revenue, leading bids, forecasts, strategic planning, and analytics. That foundation continues to inform my leadership style today: decisive, accountable, data-driven, and action-oriented.Core strengths include-Results oriented-Medicare Advantage & Managed Care-Market growth & margin expansion-Value-based & risk-based contracting-STARs, quality, and risk adjustment-M&A-Bid design and product strategy-High-performing talent identification and team development
