Profile Information
- about me
- I'm currently an information systems manager at The Travelers, the second-largest writer of commercial U.S. property casualty insurance. At Travelers I manage application releases across various platforms for the business insurance management intelligence segment of the company.
Prior to joining The Travelers, I worked for many years with United Healthcare’s Oxford Health Plans segment where I led numerous software/application life cycle development and continuous improvement programs. While at United Healthcare I earned Silver and Bronze Awards for excellence in program development, process automation, and strategic product releases.
In 2003, I was a founding member of a Toastmasters club for United Healthcare employees and served on the organization’s board for three consecutive years as treasurer and then as secretary.
I earned a Bachelor of Science in engineering from the University of Hartford. In 2007, I completed an MBA with a concentration in risk management at the University of Hartford’s Barney School of Business.
Originally from Queens, NY, I now live in West Hartford, CT with my wife Jessica and dog Sammy.
