In 2019 she spearheaded the creation of Sun Life’s enhanced paid family and medical leave program, which earned the company national recognition and established Sun Life as a leader in PFML expertise. During the pandemic, Tammi oversaw the rollout of Sun Life’s commitment to flexibility, which has evolved into its flexible hybrid work model, allowing employees to determine whether they work from the office or from home, depending on the needs of their day. Most recently, Tammi completed the launch of menopause benefits alongside already offered fertility benefits, furthering the company’s commitment to supporting women’s health at all ages and career stages.
Before leading HR at Sun Life, Tammi was vice president, Group Benefits Client Services, leading the largest unit in the company’s U.S. business for a wide range of operational functions. Previously, she held senior leadership roles at Prudential and The Hartford Financial Services Group.

Tammi serves as Board Chair of United Way of Massachusetts Bay and Merrimack Valley, and was a board member of Hyde Square Task Force, an organization that empowers and supports youth as they explore, master and celebrate Afro-Latin culture through art.
Women’s health is not one-size-fits-all, and it shouldn’t be for your benefits strategy either. From fertility and family planning to menopause, mental health, chronic conditions, and preventive care, a growing number of employers are recognizing the need to support women throughout every stage of life.
This session will explore what it truly means to offer comprehensive women’s health benefits, including the latest trends, evolving employee expectations, and the impact of inclusive, whole-person care on recruitment, retention, and overall well-being. Experts and employers will share what’s working, what’s missing, and how to close the gaps in your current offering.
Walk away with actionable insights to support the women in your workforce better—and build a benefits strategy that reflects their real needs.
