Prior to his appointment, Prentice served as an attorney in both public and private roles. 

Prentice’s role at the Indiana Department of Revenue led him to establish the agency’s compliance department. Prentice then took his skills to Elevance Health, where he led their records and information management program, partnering with business stakeholders to ensure record governance and oversight. Recently, Prentice joined Deloitte Services, leading their records and contract compliance, reporting and artificial intelligence functions.
