Success Looks Like in 12 to 18 Months - Established a clear enterprise operating agenda that connects operational performance, risk, member experience, and growth. - Created stronger visibility into performance, risk, service quality, and improvement opportunities across the operational portfolio. - Advanced meaningful automation and process improvements that reduce friction, strengthen consistency, or improve the member experience. - Strengthened risk and compliance governance, internal controls, and readiness for audits and regulatory examinations. - Increased the maturity of fraud-risk assessment, detection, analytics, reporting, and mitigation practices. - Built a scalable operating model for Metro Contigo with clear accountability, cross-functional coordination, reporting, and continuous-improvement practices. - Developed a stronger bench of operational leaders and subject matter experts, with clearer expectations, greater accountability, and intentional development. - Built trust across functions by communicating clearly, making risk-informed decisions, and consistently turning strategy into execution.
