Background

About Jeffrey Larocca

As a client-centric program leader, I have extensive experience leading large-scale technical programs across the healthcare and financial services industries. Known as a program turnaround architect and credited with rapid, ROI-backed advances in organizational capabilities and performance. Reducing ambiguity by developing frameworks and policies that streamline and scale technical programs. Affinity for data and financial analysis resulting in strong stakeholder relationships that drive millions in profits. Developer of best-in-class talent via mentorship, coaching, and professional training. With an MBA in Finance and Strategic Management, I started my career in the finance industry. As the Vice President of Underwriting & Credit Risk Management, I was a founding officer of a major regional bank's inaugural Small Business Banking Division, leading a team of underwriters and portfolio managers to conduct credit risk reviews for new borrowers and an existing loan portfolio. From there, my roles became more technical in nature. As a Business System Consultant of Product Development, I led a team to build out custom enhancements on the company's securities trading platform for external clients. Eventually, I pivoted into the healthcare industry as a Business Analysis Manager where my focus was on system enhancements and IT vendor management/governance. I was one of the first technical program managers hired at athenahealth, to execute up to 30 simultaneous custom integration projects to help onboard new enterprise clients. As demand grew, I pitched a leadership role to formalize program management within the organization. Here I standardized the project management process, reduced operational bottlenecks, and significantly improved relationships with clients. While at Steward Health Care, I supported the transformation of and matured the PMO by implementing best practices that reduced project turnaround times by 25% and improved project transparency/communication across the organization. Most recently I took a career sabbatical to travel. I have since relocated to San Diego. ’ You can DM me here or email me at jrlarocca1@gmail.com
