Highlights:

I bring a unique perspective to benefits in that I have worked as a client, for a consulting firm, and also for an insurance carrier. I understand benefits from all angles. While at Southern Company, I reduced costs by $20M in first two years when I redesigned the Post-65 retiree health plan from a legacy program to a Medicare Advantage plan impacting 20K personnel. As a consultant at Northwestern Benefit Corporation of Georgia, I assisted a client by designing and implementing a three-year strategy and plan moving 1.4K group plan valued $10M to a progressive self-insured program resulting in end-user company customization and management to meet individual needs.
