$24M+ annual premiums · 8 employer accounts · 20,000+ employees covered
- Sole finance owner for $24M+ in annual premiums across 8 employer accounts — the direct finance partner to senior leadership, with no team behind me.
- Identified a fully manual, leadership-hours-heavy RFP search process and independently built the fix: an automated RFP Finder (Claude + Google AI Studio) with zero engineering support — cutting search time by 10+ hours/week and tripling RFP throughput. Still in daily production use.
- Built a second tool from scratch, a Proposal Rater, that ingests carrier quotes and RFP requirements and scores competitive positioning — now used daily by leadership to decide which proposals to pursue and how to price them.
- Designed and shipped Excel automation (macros/VBA) that cut manual processing time ~40%, with tooling still in active production use.
- Own monthly and quarterly variance analysis across all 8 accounts — tracing discrepancies between internal records and carrier data to root cause, resolving billing exceptions before they reach client invoices.
- Built and maintain live Power BI dashboards that replaced static reporting, giving leadership real-time visibility into premium billing and account-level performance.
