Was he not the CFO the past few years? And greenlit HIH?

@rd Seriously?? Hocevar was a slimy backstabbing weasel. He scr*wed over so many people on his teams over the years. He helped Cordani do the dirty work behind the scenes to sabotage the Anthem deal but he was ultimately made the fall guy.
I guess that says even more about Cordani.
@jf Who is Chris?
We would 1000 times take Chris back over Matt. We all miss Chris.
Totally surprised David did not bring Matt Manders back again. We all expected that was the plan.
Failing up seems to be a common theme in shrinking companies.
IMHO
By promoting the former CFO, the board has shown it's plans. Outsource to cut short term costs, make the blance sheet attractive to potential suitors. The Cigna Group was built too big for a market that is changing underneath it.
Cordani got out while the getting out wa$ good and his ego wasn't going to get hurt as the company is sold off piece by piece. He won't have to be the CEO of a smaller corporation that would be left over after. One need only look at the actions of leadership back when the merger with BCBS was in play a few years back. I don't think the Cigna leadership team were going to take a back seat in the c-suite to anyone.
@ep Built under Evanko the CFO's watch at that time.
@e7 HIH is the Hyderabad offshore business Cigna built.
You can't see any reason for anyone to have negative feelings here? You are an absolute clown. Critical thinking totally missed you.
Hopefully you are a skilled bootlicker or you'd be completely useless on all fronts.
@ek Right like Evanko cares about what we say here lmfao
Yall are so negative and mean spirited. Sheesh. Just wish the man his blessings and move on. With all the negative attitudes here constantly it’s just such a shame smh
what is HIH?
@b8 Maybe he is a robot sent back to take out Sarah Connor
@ay At this point, one can only wonder if he is related or super compliant with any specific shareholders.
@ay he was honest at 2025 year-end all hands meeting and pre-announced lowering headcount, and got it done on schedule!
To be fair we should look at his track record before judging too harshly.
1) He ran the IFP business that lost lots of money every year except one
2) He ran the Medicare business that didn’t grow and had to be sold to cut our losses
3) He was the CFO during the time when the company’s expenses were out of control.
Um, never mind. Go ahead and judge.
David will be on the board so he can continue to be Brian’s puppet master - that’s the saving grace. The company I think will continue the downward spiral under his regime. I was given the VRP in September- definitely ageism. I had to agree to not sue because of my age. Terrible and disgusting after 28 years
@ag Exactly.
Brian don't you have better things to do? Like having companies fail as CFO?
@af get off this website Brian
@a9 he was trained on job, got the experience, won’t make the same mistake again. He is the best of the best! Trust him!
If you're looking for a sign of how Evanko will handle things, just look at what happened with Cigna Medicare. It was his responsibility to ensure that business ran smoothly, and it ended up being the opposite. Ultimately, the performance was so poor they had to sell it off.
Yes, the guy who was the CFO while our expenses got out of control which led to thousands of employees losing their jobs in a frantic cost cutting exercise is being rewarded with the CEO job. You can’t make this stuff up.
Rules for thee, not for me.
@a4 seems like the type that also fails upward and gets rewarded for it. Lots of those types in the leadership development programs here.
if I did that, I'd get fired.
Yes he will. He’s young too. Lots of time to wreak havoc.
