OneDigital’s Vice President Of Legal and Compliance Erica Cordova Zinkie Honored By Atlanta Business Chronicle

Prestigious Award Recognizes Outstanding Work of In-House Counsel in Atlanta

Atlanta, GA – August 28, 2020 – Erica Cordova Zinkie, Vice President of Legal and Compliance at OneDigital, the nation’s leading strategic advisory firm focused on driving business growth for employers of all sizes, has been named a 2020 Honoree in the Georgia Chapter of the Associate of Corporate Counsel and Atlanta Business Chronicle’s Corporate Counsel Awards. The award celebrates the outstanding work of in-house counsel in the Atlanta metro area.

Cordova Zinkie joined the OneDigital legal and compliance team, led by Annette Bechtold, SVP of Regulatory Affairs and Compliance, in 2016 to help guide OneDigital and its benefits consultants through navigating employee benefits law and employment law. Additionally, she works with a team of internal attorneys and outside counsel to anticipate and mitigate corporate legal risks. Erica consistently strives to implement process improvements to enhance the customer service experience for her clients and stakeholders. She has made substantial contributions to build out OneDigital’s compliance team and client solutions, as well as mitigate risk to the organization.

Under her leadership, the legal and compliance team has implemented a revamped national compliance program, assisted hundreds of clients in avoiding millions of dollars of ACA reporting penalties, supported the expansion of OneDigital’s footprint throughout the country, and developed a comprehensive program of educational resources for clients and internal stakeholders. Due to these, and other contributions, the compliance team received OneDigital’s 2020 People’s Choice Award for Best Sales Support Team, and Erica received OneDigital’s 2020 Leadership Award for Going Above and Beyond.

I am honored to be recognized with the 2020 Corporate Counsel Award. I never imagined nearly a decade ago when I graduated law school at the height of the great recession and completely disillusioned with the idea of practicing law that I’d be where I am today, loving what I do and being recognized for that work. I am fortunate to have found my little niche where I can thrive as an educator, work with a close-knit team, and still enjoy challenging work that makes a difference in one of the most important factors of our lives, our healthcare.
 
— Erica Cordova Zinkie, VP, Legal and Compliance, OneDigital
