‘Best People, Best Practices’: Vālenz Elevates HR Function with Appointment of New Vice President

January 6, 2020/in Announcements, Featured/by ryan kesner

PHOENIX, Ariz. (January 6, 2020) — As healthcare companies grow and evolve, so too does the need for enhanced talent acquisition, employee engagement, cultural cohesion and more. Those and other HR functions are what Kevin Gorham, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, plans to address strategically in his new role as Vice President of Human Resources at Vālenz™.

“As the nation’s first fully integrated health administrative ecosystem, Valenz is charting significant growth, underscoring the need to invest in our human resources infrastructure,” said Larry Eisel, Chief Financial Officer. “Because much of our growth will continue to come from leveraging the integration of new and existing companies and partners into one synergistic ecosystem, we knew Kevin’s previous successes with corporate integration, employee engagement and cultural alignment made him the ideal fit to lead our human resources department.”

An award-winning human resources executive with 20 years’ experience leading organizations in such industries as healthcare, technology and financial services, Gorham describes his leadership style as a strategic business partnership model and says his guiding philosophy is “best people, best practices.” That approach has led to a career filled with corporate successes, from improving operations to achieving record-high employee engagement.

“For me, professional fulfillment comes from being part of a growing company, which brings many opportunities to evolve through innovative and forward-thinking practices,” explained Gorham. “I am honored to join the Valenz team and look forward to contributing to our ongoing success through excellence in human resources management and team support.”

Gorham has both a master’s and bachelor’s degree in English from Eastern Illinois University, where he learned the art and science of effective communication. Later, while at Household International (now part of HSBC Corporation), he received the company’s Award for Excellence for his work in human resources and employee communications. In his HR leadership role at Avnet, he was one of three finalists for the President’s Award for his work in talent management. Gorham is a Senior Certified Professional in Human Resources and an active member of the Society for Human Resources Management.
