Christy has been with Elevanta since 2001, where she initially spent her time researching, developing, and implementing programs and services for franchisees to increase their bottom line. She developed national programs for franchisees, including payroll processing and accounting solutions, and she was instrumental in developing a self-funded health care program for franchisees and their employees. Christy also developed the business plan and played a key role in establishing a subsidiary company, which serves as a call center to manage the enrollment and administrative functions of the franchisees’ group insurance programs.

Realizing the challenges the Affordable Care Act (ACA) would have on Elevanta’s insurance programs and clients, Christy has sought to become an expert on the ACA. She’s a nationally recognized speaker on the ACA and advises employers daily on strategies for compliance.

Today, Christy leads Elevanta as its CEO and focuses her attention on Elevanta’s strategic growth together with that of all its client partners. In addition, Christy serves as Executive Director for Franchise Business Services, Inc. (FBS). FBS is a national association representing the Buffalo Wild Wings® franchisee community. She has an Executive MBA from the Coles School of Business at Kennesaw State University, an MPH from Mercer University School of Medicine, and a bachelor’s degree in Biology with a minor in chemistry from Georgia College & State University.
