Background

About Michael Taliaferro

I am a seasoned VP & Group Operating Officer with 12+ years of corporate leadership and business development experience in the medical sector. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for multi-faceted operational success, as well as for advising management models and program launches, I have a verifiable history of contributing directly to company growth and expansion throughout my career. As such, I have consistently exceeded budgetary and performance goals and I am adept at achieving maximum operational output with minimal resource expenditure. Professional focal points include financial consulting, business development strategies, program management, operational strategies, team leadership, and trend analysis. Delivering superior administration on the latter areas of expertise requires utilization of effective communication skills, negotiation skills, as well as business acumen, data analysis, project management and resource management to support efficiency and maximum returns. Currently, I am the VP & Group Operating Officer with SCP Health. Under my leadership, I spearhead the operational, financial, and clinical success for 60 urgent care, emergency, and hospitalist practices. I also overhaul 50+ contracts for long-term sustainability, supervise 30+ program launches, and orchestrate adjustments for care network participation. In addition, I liaise with senior leadership, group medical officers, and regional directors to ensure the company’s operating support structure is driving the business forward with minimal expenditures. Colleagues describe me as a progressive, driven, down-to-earth, technical and managerial expert who can be relied on to offer superior solutions that deliver profitable results on time and under budget.
