Elizabeth McVey

Administrative Assistant and Sales Professional
Rockville,MD

Summary

Dynamic and results-driven professional with over 10 years of experience spanning administrative support, customer success, and account management roles. A relationship-builder at heart, I’ve consistently driven client satisfaction, retention, and engagement across healthcare, emergency communication, media, and technology sectors.

  • I recently served as an Administrative Assistant at the American Health Care Association, where I supported large-scale, federally funded healthcare initiatives—coordinating provider outreach for the Long-Term Care Data Cooperative, managing internal processes and documentation, and facilitating the National Leadership Academy for 2025. My role involved strategic communication, data-driven reporting, and seamless program coordination.
  • Previously, as a Customer Success Manager at Alertus, I built and led the first CSM team, improved customer health monitoring processes and system activation in emergencies, and collaborated with cross-functional departments to drive product adoption during COVID‑19. Prior to that, in various account executive and management roles at Poppin, Cision, Vocus/Cision, and Cumulus Media, I excelled in consultative sales, upselling, and client retention—handling book sizes ranging from 150+ key accounts to over 1,000, and consistently exceeding performance targets through data-driven pipeline management and customer engagement.

Known for strong communication and problem-solving skills, I thrive in fast-paced, cross-functional environments and am energized by building systems and relationships that enhance productivity and impact.
