***************@*****.***
I am a highly successful, self-motivated, business professional looking for a solid, strong company to manage individuals and build strong teams. I have lead and mentored successful sales and account management representatives, both internal and external. I have also managed and lead successful operational teams, developing and "Best Practice" initiatives and focusing on “the voice of the customer” throughout my career in many areas of healthcare. I have worked as a consultative executive for both startups and larger employers (three of my past positions were owned by the same individual). In many of my positions I have been requested by executive leadership and was successful in leading a variety of project teams: working with managers to roll out new products and services, increase service levels, and improve processes to increase revenues and flow, leading individuals through change, in a positive collaborative manor, empowering all levels of employees.
