Position:  President-Elect

 

 

Kinga Winiarska, PMP, CSM currently works as a Business Project Manager at Cigna Corp. She has been with Cigna for the last 6 years, managing loyalty programs, leading transition of medical portfolio into ACA products. She also managed the rollout of dental products to Affinity partner, bringing sales of almost 100,000 policies within year one. She stepped in to lead the Supplemental Benefits project and was able to reduce errors 85%, resulting in a reduction in rework and customer dissatisfaction. Currently Kinga manages the MedSupp business for Retiree Exchanges, Affinity partners and brokers.

Kinga passed the PMP exam in 2011. She started attending to WMPMI meetings and soon after became involved in mentoring one of the collegiate competition teams, Finlandia, followed by leading the creation of THEProject program brochure for three years. When the VP Marketing position opened up, she volunteered to jump in and help strengthen the communication, social media outreach and other marketing campaigns. She saved over 83% in marketing agency costs in the first year. She is very involved in helping WMPMI be the best chapter in the world as well as helping to reach more members by creating posts for each event highlighting speakers, guests and new members. She is already thinking of creating a ‘reader’s corner’, alternative meeting venues and finding more creative ways to fund all the activities WMPMI is putting on for its members.

Originally from Poland, Kinga holds a Master’s degree from the University of Szczecin, and lives in Byron Center, with her three children and husband.

Kinga would like to apply for the President Elect position as she believes she can help WMPMI create more engagement, more venues to learn interesting material and use her marketing background to make the chapter a fun place to interact with peers.
