LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Humana
Inc. (NYSE: HUM), one of the nation’s leading health and well-being companies,
has named Vishal Agrawal, M.D., to the position of Chief Strategy and Corporate
Development Officer. Humana also announced that it is realigning its Care
Delivery Organization under the leadership of Chief Financial Officer Brian
Kane.
“Our desire to grow payor-agnostic care delivery through
acquisitions and de novo centers will be further realized by realigning the
entity to the Finance organization”
In the role of Chief Strategy and Corporate Development Officer,
Agrawal will report directly to Humana President and CEO Bruce Broussard, and
will serve as a member of Humana’s Management Team. Agrawal will be responsible
for advancing the company’s strategic insights and planning process,
establishing direction for merger, acquisition and joint venture activities,
while maximizing capabilities to create competitive advantage. He will assume
the role effective December 10, 2018.
Agrawal brings more than 20 years of experience in planning and
implementing strategies to drive growth and performance improvement across
publicly traded and privately held health care organizations. He comes to
Humana from The Carlyle Group, a Washington, D.C.-based financial services and
investment firm, where he served as Senior Advisor. Previously, Agrawal oversaw
strategy for Ciox Health, a health care information management company, as
President and Chief Growth Officer. Agrawal has also served as President of
Harris Healthcare Solutions and Partner at McKinsey and Company.
“As a physician and a highly strategic health care business
leader, Vishal’s expertise spans multiple domains,” said Broussard. “His unique
perspective will help Humana continue to advance its integrated care delivery
market strategy, which revolves around the health plan member, with a
particular focus on seniors living with chronic conditions.”
Agrawal is a graduate of the Yale University School of Medicine.
He also holds a master’s degree in molecular biophysics and a bachelor’s degree
in molecular biophysics and biochemistry, both also from Yale.
As Chief Strategy and Corporate Development Officer, Agrawal
succeeds Christopher Hunter, who recently assumed leadership responsibility
for the company’s Group, Specialty and Military lines of
business. Hunter, who joined the company in 2014, has played an instrumental
role in advancing the company’s strategy, particularly as the company emerged
as a stand-alone entity after the termination of the Aetna transaction. Chris
succeeds Beth Bierbower in this role, who as previously announced, is leading
the company’s efforts to develop a new senior health care experience in the
company’s recently created Humana Studio H in Boston. Both Hunter and Bierbower
are members of the Management Team reporting to Broussard.
In addition, Humana’s Care Delivery Organization will now become
part of the company’s Finance organization, under the leadership of Chief
Financial Officer Brian Kane. An important part of Humana’s integrated care
delivery strategy involves expanding clinical capabilities with a commitment to
providing care delivery solutions to serve the members of many different
payors.
“Our desire to grow payor-agnostic care delivery through acquisitions
and de novo centers will be further realized by realigning the entity to the
Finance organization,” said Broussard. “There, the Care Delivery Organization
can leverage the operational and financial expertise of Brian Kane and his
leadership team to advance its primary care capabilities.”
Reporting to Kane will be Renee Buckingham, president of
Humana’s Care Delivery Organization. In a short period of time, Renee and her
team have helped facilitate the reorganization of existing Florida and Texas care
delivery assets into Conviva, consummated the acquisition and subsequent
integration of central Florida’s Family Physicians Group, and driven the growth
of Partners in Primary Care (PIPC) by entering new markets with PIPC centers,
broadening the relationship with several of the company’s joint venture
partners and establishing a strategic partnership with Walgreens
to co-locate senior-focused PIPC centers in certain Kansas
City-area stores.
