Elevance Health announced on Tuesday a series of management updates within its health insurance and Carelon health services divisions, including the appointment of new chief financial officers at each unit.
As the second-largest health insurer in the United States, following UnitedHealth Group’s UnitedHealthcare, Elevance Health is recognized for its operation of Anthem brand Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans across 14 states. The company also manages Medicaid through various state contracts and offers individual coverage under the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare. Additionally, Elevance is expanding its Carelon healthcare services business.
Facing challenges similar to other health insurers, Elevance has been dealing with increasing medical costs for its customers, which has impacted its stock price significantly.
On Tuesday, the company, under the leadership of longtime CEO Gail Boudreaux, emphasized that these leadership changes in its health benefits and Carelon sectors aim to “strengthen execution, enhance operational performance, and drive continued growth across its businesses.”
Gail Boudreaux, President and CEO of Elevance Health, stated, “As we continue to execute on our strategy, these leadership appointments strengthen our ability to deliver consistent, high-quality performance and drive continued growth. We remain focused on improving affordability, enhancing outcomes, and delivering long-term value for the people and communities we serve.”
Elevance has made the following executive appointments:
* Aimée Dailey is now President of Government Business, overseeing Medicare, Medicaid, Federal Government Solutions, and Group Retiree Solutions. The company noted, “Dailey has played a pivotal role in expanding Elevance Health’s government programs, strengthening state partnerships, and improving access and outcomes for millions of members.”
• Will Feest will take on the role of President of Carelon Insights, in addition to his position as Chief Operating Officer for Carelon. The company highlighted, “Feest has led financial and operational strategy across Carelon, Commercial and Government Health Benefits, and will focus on advancing analytics-driven performance and strengthening enterprise alignment.”
• William Fleming will be joining as Chief Growth and Strategy Officer for Carelon, tasked with overseeing growth strategy, partnerships, and portfolio expansion. “Fleming brings more than 30 years of experience across healthcare services and insurance, including leadership roles at Humana where he drove innovation across pharmacy, home health, and care services,” according to the company.
• Darrell Oliveira has been appointed Chief Financial Officer for Carelon, with extensive experience in capital strategy, financial performance, and transformation, having previously held leadership roles at MetLife, Prudential, and MassMutual.
• Jeff Plante has been named Chief Financial Officer for the health benefits segment. The company noted, “Most recently serving as President of Carelon Insights, Plante has led the growth of analytics, payment integrity, and value-based care solutions and brings deep experience across finance, operations, and strategy.”
No departures were announced alongside these appointments on Tuesday. However, a month ago, the company stated that Peter D. Haytaian, Executive Vice President and President of Carelon, is leaving to focus more on family commitments, effective May 4, 2026.
Elevance spokeswoman Leslie Porras confirmed on Tuesday morning, “We’re not providing any additional changes beyond what was noted in the press release.”
