Her Story

About Lisa

Lisa Dawn Beck is a healthcare operations and customer success executive with more than 20 years of experience leading complex, large-scale initiatives across healthcare information technology, payer and provider environments, and global business operations. She currently serves as Director of Operations at UnitedHealth Group, where she leads multiple teams supporting EDS Submissions, ACA EDGE Submissions, and Housecalls Submissions, impacting more than 3 million lives and over 30 clients. In this role, she oversees operational execution, client success, SLA performance, and cross-functional collaboration while driving continuous improvement across regulated healthcare processes.

Her personal journey has been defined by resilience, perseverance, and transformation. Raised in the foster care system after experiencing significant childhood adversity, she was later adopted at age 14 and learned early independence, moving out on her own at 18. She balanced early adulthood, marriage, and raising children while returning to college, ultimately earning her Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Management with a 3.6 GPA. Her career path was shaped by determination to overcome barriers, build stability, and create long-term impact through education, discipline, and hard work.

Lisa’s life has also included profound personal and health challenges, including raising a child with significant special needs and navigating serious health conditions of her own, including cancer and autoimmune disease. After seeking multiple medical opinions, she ultimately pursued a treatment path aligned with her values and later became a cancer survivor. Today, she is committed to supporting others through monthly Healing Strong groups in her community, focusing on encouragement, holistic wellness, and shared resilience. Outside of her professional and advocacy work, she maintains an active lifestyle that includes running, weight lifting, and playing pickleball. Grounded in faith, she credits perseverance, discipline, and a strong work ethic for her success, and believes deeply that background does not define outcome—consistent effort, accountability, and purpose do.

Her Interview

Ten minutes with Lisa

01What do you attribute your success to?

I've had a lot of obstacles I've had to work through, and I would say perseverance is what has gotten me to where I am today. I feel like God put me here to show that you can come from anywhere and still be successful. You can't blame your background on your failure. You can always work harder to get ahead. I still think in America, hard work can be attributed to success. You don't have to be born into success, you don't have to know somebody. My whole life I've worked probably 12 hours a day and weekends, and I love it. I really do.

02What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?

I think it's very important that my clients are happy and they feel like they're getting value for the money that they're spending. My team does everything humanly possible to meet their business needs. I'm working on acquisitions now, doing migrations where clients are used to one way of doing things, and we've migrated them onto our platform. If they really like a particular report, I'll work with my team to make it happen because that's what they're used to, and they didn't ask to be migrated. I personally want to make them happy and make their job as easy as possible. I want them to feel like they can call me or my team anytime and get their needs met. We deal with a lot of government audits and third-party audits, and everybody's really anxious, so I think I'm very good at getting people to just take a beat and know that we're going to take care of them. I think customer service, really solid customer service, is most important. I treat my staff, my team, and the stakeholders I interact with like family. I probably know them better than I know people that are my extended family. Just making people feel comfortable is what matters most to me.
