Although time served does not always equate with excellence, my executive experience in state government and medicaid managed care has helped hone my ability to apply sound judgement to a wide range of business planning and projects. For example, I worked with a Third Party Administrator that was considering expanding their services to the Medicaid arena. My task included educating the client on the differences between Medicaid and other government programs; helping them assess their current capacity and what they would need for this new business venture; and advising them on their staffing, readiness and other implementation issues. The client relied on my judgement in guiding them through each step of this process.
