Healthcare Alliance Leader | Health Plan Partnerships | B2B2C Channel Enablement & Enrollment Activation

About

Healthcare alliance operator with 15+ years delivering enrollment growth, partner activation, and program execution inside Fortune 50 payer ecosystems. I've operationalized partnerships at scale, including running 19-market simultaneous activation programs, consolidating enterprise enablement platforms across 70,000+ distribution partners, and managing full-cycle partnership financials inside Humana's procurement and billing systems. My work sits at the intersection of health plan strategy, B2B2C channel execution, and cross-functional delivery. I'm known for being the connective layer between payer partners and internal teams — translating technical complexity into stakeholder language, diagnosing enrollment gaps before they become relationship problems, and driving activation from contract through sustained member growth.
