Gail Boudreaux

Gail Boudreaux was appointed president and CEO of Elevance Health in 2017 after six years as CEO of UnitedHealthcare, a division of UnitedHealth Group, and executive roles at Health Care Service Corp. and Aetna. At Elevance Health, she oversees more than 100,000 associates who serve 112 million people. The 2024 operating revenue of $175 billion was up 3% from the previous year, despite taking a serious hit in the fourth quarter amid higher medical costs in the safety-net Medicaid program. Elevance Health’s subsidiary health care services business, Carelon, reached a $53.9 billion operating revenue, a 12% increase, and in the fourth quarter alone, Carelon achieved an operating revenue of $14.7 billion, up 19% from the previous year. In 2024 Elevance also launched a national primary care delivery platform, Mosaic Health, to nearly 1 million consumers across 19 states, and acquired CareBridge. Finally, Elevance Health has been recognized as a Great Place to Work by Fortune since 2021, with 83% of associates—who logged a record-setting 280,000 hours of volunteer work last year—in agreement.
