Kimberly George

There is no place I would rather be than working with Sedgwick’s clients, colleagues and partners to improve outcomes for the American employee.

Kimberly George has been a registered nurse for more than 20 years. Although she began her career as a neuro-trauma nurse, she quickly transitioned to the insurance and benefits arena. Her experience in the cost containment field spans over 20 years.

Kimberly is also co-host of Out Front Ideas, a complimentary webinar series and interactive forum designed to explore critical workers' compensation-related issues that are not given enough attention in other industry outlets.
