Lori Schevikhoven is a seasoned talent and operations executive with over 35 years of leadership in business strategy, workforce development, operational excellence, and healthcare solutions. Launching her career at Hewitt in 1990, Lori dedicated more than three decades to the organization and its successors—first under Hewitt, then through Aon following its 2010 acquisition of Hewitt—before pivotal divestitures transitioned her division to Alight Solutions. This longstanding commitment underscores her deep expertise in transforming large-scale organizations across healthcare, HR solutions, and benefits administration.

In her most recent role as Vice President of Retiree Solutions and Leave Administration at Alight Solutions, Lori spearheaded the Medicare Exchange and Leave Solutions businesses. She ensured that both seniors and active employees received comprehensive healthcare and absence support while leading a global due diligence process that facilitated successful mergers and acquisitions. Notably, in 2021, the Medicare Exchange division—her area of expertise—was divested to Alight, marking a significant milestone in her career.

Previously, at Aon Hewitt, Lori served as Senior Vice President of Healthcare Exchanges and Benefits Administration. There, she was instrumental in scaling the healthcare exchange business through strategic sales initiatives, partnership expansion, and workforce transformation. Her leadership was crucial in developing innovative delivery models and securing key accounts, paving the way for the 2017 divestiture of the benefits administration division that ultimately became part of Alight Solutions.

Lori’s expertise also encompasses corporate finance, procurement, and business process optimization. As Senior Director of Benefits Outsourcing and Shared Services, she managed a $25 million annual budget and led a cross-functional team of over 300 professionals, driving cost efficiencies and enhancing service delivery. Earlier in her career at Hewitt Associates, she oversaw $800 million in global procurement spending and established a global sourcing review board to reinforce financial optimization and regulatory compliance.

With extensive technical experience in IT strategy, systems integration, and process improvement, Lori has successfully led ERP implementations, technology migrations, and operational transformations that enhanced efficiency and spurred innovation. Beyond her technical and strategic prowess, she is a passionate advocate for leadership development, diversity recruitment, and talent pipelining, consistently fostering inclusive workplaces and mentoring emerging leaders.

Lori’s blend of strategic foresight and hands-on execution consistently delivers measurable results that drive profitability and sustainable growth. Armed with a Bachelor of Science in Business Management, Finance, and Accounting from the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, she now seeks opportunities to leverage her comprehensive experience in an advisory or board leadership capacity—guiding organizations to scale, innovate, and optimize their workforce strategies.
