Background

About Roderick Parker

With over 14 years of experience in various industries, I am passionate about process improvement, project management, and performance excellence. I am currently a Process Excellence Partner at LinkedIn, where I tackle problems and identify opportunities for improvement across the organization. I strive to deliver better experiences for our customers, partners, and employees by mapping and optimizing current and future state processes. I also embed structure, rigor, and best practices across operations, aligning with LinkedIn's mission and culture of creating economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce. I bring diverse perspectives and experiences to the team, having worked in healthcare, logistics, construction, and public health sectors. Prior to joining LinkedIn, I was a Manager of Performance Excellence at the University of Miami Health System, where I oversaw 55 projects that saved the organization $82M in FY20. I built dashboards to efficiently and effectively manage the department, and managed a portfolio of projects and tracked their financial impact. I was also accountable for a team of senior project managers, project managers, and project coordinators, and provided them with project management and process improvement expertise to support enterprise-wide initiatives. Some of the projects I led or supported involved reducing the call center abandonment rate, refining the IT strategy, and designing and implementing process and material flow improvements. I utilized my skills in project management, process improvement, and six sigma, as well as my PMP and LSSGB certifications, to deliver high-quality results and outcomes.
