COBRAGuard Inc. Hires Debra Mootz, New Director of Operations
Overland Park, Kan., Dec. 16, 2014: Former city clerk/finance director of Roeland Park, Debra Mootz, joined the COBRAGuard team as its new director of operations in August 2014. As a former city council representative for Roeland Park, COBRAGuard President, Robert Meyers worked with Mootz for seven years before she accepted a position with the Overland Park-based company.
"Those who work in government positions know that city clerks are unbelievable administrators who know how to get things done," Meyers says. "While working with Debra at the City of Roeland Park, it became clear to me that she's capable of performing the work of three people. She's one of the hardest working people I've ever met, and I realized that she'd be a great asset for COBRAGuard."
While most people know that COBRAGuard is a certified COBRA administrator, many people don't realize the company also provides billing, enrollment and eligibility services for public entities, hospitals and large businesses. With these added services, COBRAGuard experienced rapid growth over the past three years, creating the need for a director of operations position.
Mootz was the ideal person for the job. "Debra already has experience in human resources, finance, accounting and facilities. Anything we can throw at her will be simple compared to what she's already managed with the city," Meyers says.
Four months after the transition, Mootz feels confident that she made the right move. "I enjoy the fast pace of this business and all the new challenges," she says. "I'm reviewing COBRAGuard operations with fresh eyes and applying creative new work structures to help the company grow more efficiently." Meyers agrees that the employment fit couldn't be better. "She's one of the best hire we've ever made," he says. "Everyone is impressed with her and very supportive of her new role."
Debra holds a Master Municipal Clerk (MMC) certification as well as a Certified Public Manager (CPM) certification.
