Case Study:
Centene Corporation, CIO
Centene, a Fortune 19 health insurance provider, had already built an advanced technology organization. Building on that foundation, the company wanted to explore how technology could further improve customer experiences and health outcomes.
Our Approach
Rather than restricting the search to healthcare, we considered executives from different verticals, including major technology businesses. Centene understood that the strongest person for this role did not necessarily need to come from another healthcare company. They wanted to look more broadly at leaders who had operated at scale and could bring a different technology perspective into the business.
Our placement:
Bradley Bolivar, CIO
The search resulted in the appointment of Bradley Bolivar, who joins Centene from Fannie Mae. While his background is outside healthcare, his deep technical skills within a large and complex organization offered strong parallels with Centene.
- Former CIO at Fannie Mae
- Former SVP, Enterprise Engineering and Architecture at Warner Bros.
- Experience in highly regulated industries and strong advocacy for technology to solve complex business problems.
