Elizabeth Letke
Sales Executive
Liz Letke is a Sales Executive for Horton’s Employee Benefit Solutions. In this role, Liz is responsible for providing expert employee benefits consulting, bringing new clients on board, and servicing and retaining existing clients. She is part of a team of employee benefits-focused specialists dedicated to delivering innovative healthcare solutions to employers.
Before joining Horton, Liz worked for a Fortune 500 business, growing her product solutions by double-digits year over year from $14 million to over $50 million with Amazon. The key to her success was keeping in mind, “every customer is different, and you can’t have a cookie cutter approach.”
It’s a lesson she takes with her to Horton where she sees clients every day that facing an upward battle. “More and more mid-sized businesses are facing the types of challenges that once were once reserved for fortune 1000 firms without the resources to be able to handle them,” says Liz. That lesson is particularly the case when it comes to employee benefits, often a benefit that touches almost all the employees in an organization and can significantly impact the organization’s internal culture.
She sees herself as a partner with human resource experts, helping to solve claims issues and deliver a great experience to employees. “Today, our HR clients are wearing multiple hats – managing human capital, benefits, compliance and more” states Liz. “I know their role is challenging and I love that I can work with them to offer solutions to lighten not only their load but also ensure compliance.”
Liz is the oldest of three siblings and is from Arlington Heights, IL. Some of her main hobbies include cooking, listening to podcasts, skiing and hiking. She is also very involved at her alma mater, Northwestern University, where she works with the Chicago Field Studies Department mentoring junior and senior level students in the process of their job searches.
