Resume:

Scott Slayton

acb288@r.postjobfree.com 609-***-****

I am an experienced transaction counsel with major public information technology companies, focusing on

pharmaceutical, health benefit and managed care organizations, advising customers and internal operations on data

privacy and security and federal /state regulatory and licensing compliance, including Medicare, Medicaid, ERISA,

FDA, HIPAA, HITECH, False Claim, Anti-Kickback and Stark. I have supported large scale provision of SaaS/On

Demand cloud processing, hosting, outsourcing, license, consulting services, partner and channel offerings. I have

trained internal personnel and presented at customer conferences regarding cloud and data transmission and storage

and business process outsourcing legal issues.

MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

As the sole legal department member of a small cross functional business team, I developed the legal and

contractual basis for the initial SaaS/On Demand customer offering. I worked with product, sales, consulting and

data center managers to successfully bring to market a fully realized and in production service that has since grown

to become a significant and profitable part of the company’s portfolio.

During the period in which HIPAA Regulations were written, I contributed research and strategy to the company’s

effort to influence and shape the nature and content of the Regulations. The process resulted in material changes

that addressed concerns of our customers and members of our industry.

I achieved the reinstatement of state licensing status for a third party administrator that directly resulted in

continued business operations without fine or other penalty.

Working with a legal/contracts/business cross functional team on a series of projects resulted in a number of major

business changes, including a full rewriting of global customer contract templates, revision of approaches to partner

relationships, negotiation playbooks and establishment of global purchasing guidelines
