INDIANAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 31, 2026-- Elevance Health, Inc. (NYSE: ELV) today announced a series of leadership appointments across its Health Benefits and Carelon organizations, positioning the company to strengthen execution, enhance operational performance, and drive continued growth across its businesses.

These appointments support the continued expansion of Carelon, Elevance Health’s services business, which provides a broad and expanding range of services across care, pharmacy, behavioral health, and data-driven insights to more than 90 million consumers across the healthcare system.

As Carelon continues to scale, the updated leadership structure is designed to better align capabilities, accelerate decision-making, and improve enterprise efficiency. These leadership changes also strengthen alignment with Elevance Health’s Health Benefits segment, which serves over 45 million medical members—enabling more coordinated solutions that lower the cost of healthcare, enhance outcomes, and simplify the healthcare experience.

“As we continue to execute on our strategy, these leadership appointments strengthen our ability to deliver consistent, high-quality performance and drive continued growth,” said Gail Boudreaux, President and Chief Executive Officer of Elevance Health. “We remain focused on improving affordability, enhancing outcomes, and delivering long-term value for the people and communities we serve.”

As part of these changes:

• Aimée Dailey has been named President of Government Business, with responsibility for Medicare, Medicaid, Federal Government Solutions (FGS), and Group Retiree Solutions (GRS). 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.
• Kristy Duffey will join the company as President of Carelon Health, where she will lead clinical strategy and operations across advanced primary care, behavioral health, specialty care, and care at home. A nurse practitioner by training, Duffey brings deep experience in scaling care models and improving performance across large, complex populations, most recently at Optum and CINQCARE.
• Will Feest will serve as President of Carelon Insights, in addition to his role as Chief Operating Officer for Carelon. 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 join the company as Chief Growth and Strategy Officer for Carelon, responsible for 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.
• Darrell Oliveira has been named Chief Financial Officer for Carelon, bringing extensive experience in capital strategy, financial performance, and transformation, with prior leadership roles at MetLife, Prudential, and MassMutual.
• Jeff Plante has been named Chief Financial Officer for the Health Benefits segment. 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.
