Bloomfield-based health insurance company The Cigna Group on Thursday announced four leadership changes, including a new president and chief operating officer, while also affirming its 2025 financial outlook.
The leadership changes include:
- Brian Evanko was named president and COO.
- Ann Dennison was named executive vice president and chief financial officer.
- Nicole Jones was named chief administrative officer and general counsel, and will assume oversight of enterprise marketing, and
- Eric Palmer, currently president and CEO of Evernorth Health Services, will depart The Cigna Group in April after 25 years.
Evanko had served as president and CEO for Cigna Healthcare since January 2024, and as CFO for The Cigna Group since January 2021.
Dennison, before joining Cigna in early 2024 as deputy CFO, was executive vice president and the CFO at Nasdaq.
Cigna officials said the changes are intended to “further drive the company’s focus on customers and patients,” while also accelerating its growth strategy.
“These leadership changes create a sharpened structure to build upon our strengths for continued growth, enhance our customer focus, and deliver even greater value for those we serve,” said David M. Cordani, chairman and CEO of The Cigna Group.
In announcing the leadership changes, The Cigna Group also reaffirmed its projected full-year 2025 consolidated adjusted income from operations of at least $29.50 per share. It also reaffirmed its 2025 Evernorth pre-tax adjusted income from operations of at least $7.2 billion, and Cigna Healthcare pre-tax adjusted income from operations of at least $4.1 billion.
Cigna Group’s stock price over the last 52 weeks has ranged from $262.03 to $370.83. Its stock price Thursday morning was trading around $311.
