• Deep subject matter expertise in Medicaid managed care, including state Medicaid policy, procurement and contracting, delivery system reform, quality and access priorities, and how policy interacts with product strategy across Medicaid populations such as LTSS, TANF, expansion adults, children and families, individuals with disabilities, and other eligibility groups.
• Strong consulting aptitude, including the ability to lead a dynamic portfolio of projects and clients, apply critical and strategic thinking across a broad range of Medicaid managed care topics, and ensure client service excellence.
