POSITIONING + PARTNERSHIPS
I was recruited by HealthJoy after their pivot to a new market and distribution channel: from a direct-to-consumer product for folks with individual policies to a channel sales strategy selling to employers through partnerships with benefits agencies, TPAs, and carriers.
I joined as Director of Communications, where I overhauled HealthJoy's messaging and positioning, and put them on the map in the group insurance space. I then transitioned to the sales team as Director of Partnerships to build our channel sales strategy, processes, pipeline, and assets from the ground up
