ALTERNATIVE SERVICE CONCEPTS LLC 2002 - 2013
Chief Executive Officer, Nashville
Can successfully lead struggling operations to profitability. For example in spinning off a
company with negative net worth and $7 Million in unfunded liabilities I borrowed a million to
capitalize the company and within four years I paid back the loan, paid the mergers and acquisition
company $6.5 million and today the company is worth $12 million.
Through unique approaches I customized risk management programs that satisfy the
needs of large enterprise clients. I re-staffed a corporate claim operation for a major trucking
operation and renegotiated their managed care program to get better results at lower costs. Saved
customer over a $1,000,000 in first year.
I successfully coach and mentor subordinates to maximize their potential. For example I
instituted with co-workers Lean Six Sigma techniques to cut cycle response time by half
for injured workers inquiries for a claim service unit in a major metropolitan city.
I implement strategic plans using a personal focus on recurring revenues and profitability.
For example I assembled a team to devise a financial dashboard and a quality report card system
so that managers knew each month where they stood from a financial and quality perspective.
I develop better business models for customer service. For example I created the dedicated
claim unit concept for medium sized industries, successfully installing them in locations
throughout the US. These units have saved customers millions of dollars in documented savings.
I win awards. I led company to be a Level 2 Commitment Award designation for quality from
the Tennessee Center for Performance Excellence.
WILLIS ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES CO. 1987 - 2002
Chief Operating Officer, Nashville
I successfully maintain long-term relationships. As a Quality Control Officer I successfully
implemented pay for performance contracts and aligned the career goals of staff with the risk
management goals of the customer. I salvaged several key relationships and made them profitable
long-term customers.
