David Cordani
President and CEO, Cigna Corp.
The long-time leader of Cigna believes healthcare needs a transformation in better-promoting wellness, managing chronic conditions and reducing waste. “In a transformed healthcare system, the quality of life will increase and healthcare costs will decrease as innovative programs and solutions are built to address the health needs of today and prevent the health burdens of tomorrow,” he wrote in a Modern Healthcare commentary. In response to the pandemic, he led Cigna to, among other things, commit $1 million from its foundation to address food insecurity and healthcare needs across the nation and launched a pilot program to address social isolation among Medicare Advantage members.
