“Changing the debate in healthcare from who pays for sickness — to how we systematically replicate the bright spots in healthcare — is essential to give Americans a healthcare system that works for them, not the other way around.”

David Cordani is the CEO and President of Cigna. He has spearheaded its transformation into a leading global health service company and is a prominent voice addressing key health challenges, such as the empowering of individuals to manage their own health, innovating new health delivery models focused on patients’ health improvements, and partnering with physicians to focus on wellness, and improving clinical quality.

Cordani leads Cigna’s global team in improving the health, well-being, and peace of mind for more than 160 million customer and patient relationships. Under his leadership, the company has significantly expanded its portfolio and led the industry as a partner-of-choice for collaboration with health care professionals and growing value-based care arrangements.

He also serves on the General Mills Board of Directors, the U.S.-India Business Council Board of Directors, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s U.S.-Korea Business Council as the Chairman, and the Board for America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) as the Chair.
