I lead business development across property and casualty and life insurance, with responsibility for new-logo acquisition, strategic account expansion, pipeline growth, and executive relationship management.

I won a competitive bid that displaced an incumbent and positioned Capgemini as one of three global service providers at a top-five P&C carrier. I helped grow the account from zero in 2024 to $10M in 2026 and built a $15M+ pipeline across six additional accounts. I also partner with Salesforce client partner and alliance leadership on solution strategy and proposals using Salesforce, Agentforce, and Data Cloud capabilities.

I expanded the team to six account executives carrying a $43M annual quota, redesigned the organization around vertical and account motions, and developed a standardized sales compensation model.

Principal – Advisory Services, Insurance Ernst & Young LLP

I led the expansion of EY's Advisory practice in Des Moines and grew insurance client relationships as a Coordinating Partner and Client Technology Leader.

I developed C-level relationships, shaped opportunities, and built a diverse book of business generating more than $10M in sales and revenue. I created market-penetration strategies and coordinated pursuit activity while directing 10–15 subject-matter leaders and more than 100 project personnel delivering complex business and technology transformation programs.

Partner – Global Business Services, Application Innovation Services, Insurance IBM
