Senior Director Business Development & Finance

2013 - 2017

Florida Blue (Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida) is a health solutions company. That means we´re concerned with the whole health life of Floridians. Our focus is on the person, not just the insurance plan, or the financing of care. Florida Blue's members have made us the #1 insurer in the state. We achieved an A+ Rating from the S&P in 2013 and grew membership dramatically by educating diverse Floridians about the Affordable Care Act. As Senior Director, Business Development and Finance, I lead teams to understand our members, how they live, and what they really need. Naturally, financing is still a big part of that, but Florida Blue is really more about a broader, yet more personal way of working; building valued relationships that can make a real difference in the communities we serve. We´re here to help Floridians with every aspect of their health and wellness, from the major challenges to the everyday moments in between. Our expanding range of high quality products and services allows people to easily get what they need, when they need it. We strive to become part of their everyday health conversations and to become a trusted health partner offering guidance and support.

And as always - the Team drives the WIN! A passionate competitor on the race track and in the office, I consistently move our business to “The Racing Line” – the intersection of possibility and execution.
