@jx I see contract staff from the subcontinent who spend most of their days chatting with one another and taking lengthy coffee breaks. This is part of what Elevance Health is being billed for.
Does she have one of those "open to work" pics on LinkedIn yet?
@fa Anita worked with Gail when they were at Optum/United
@gn exactly. Rot knocker's hiring only makes sense once you start asking who benefits. Gail & Mark both have a direct view into how money is flowing into tech and out of ELV through suppliers like UST and Deloitte, which means they're likely an indirect beneficiary of any of Rot's kickback schemes, assuming he's done a rinse and repeat of his time at Nike. I've seen some of the contracts - 80% of the software delivery capacity of tech is outsourced to suppliers who get a guaranteed payout every year, and there are options for that payout to grow by almost double if needed in a given calendar year. The contracts are insanely vague for the amount of money changing hands. Deloitte alone will gross almost half a billion over five years with very few specifics as to what ELV is getting out of it.
@fa At that level, some refer to it as Pay to Play or Greasing Palms. It is all the same....
@f7 How did Rat get hired after all allegations at Nike? She probably knew someone on SLT. I don’t think any one of them gets hired on merit. Lackluster performance from them all. It’s not about how well you perform, it’s about how well you make your poor performance someone else’s fault. I guess she didn’t do a good job of that.
@f7 Presented a good face to her leader?
@ee something similar happened at AIM as she wasn’t there long
@ee how does she keep getting hired for more of the same?
I was almost part of that org. She was over business product, analytics, and marketing. She started out as a Gail report and then got moved under Felicia after a year of underperforming. She spent two years talking about Agile and AI while taking the axe to marketing with nothing to show for it. Mismanaged her budget like crazy and wasted a lot of money with vendors. They fired her, her chief of staff, and one of the CoS's direct reports. I know someone from the CGO's Optum days, and they say she ran their pop health business into the ground before being fired. I think more terminations are coming for the remains of that team but that's speculation.
Surname sounds like a type of nut.
Nothing mysterious. Chief growth officer
She was over marketing, other growth initiatives that I know nothing of.
@a9 Think "GROWTH"
Gotta be that person - Help with the acronym please?
Was going to post something on this as well. I’m in that org.
Not sure the circumstances but I think a couple members of her staff as well, so…
