Gail Boudreaux

Gail Boudreaux has led Elevance Health, the nation’s second-largest health insurer and the largest Blue Cross Blue Shield operator, since 2017, navigating a company that now touches 104 million Americans across medical, pharmacy, home health, and more. The numbers reflect the scale of her stewardship: Elevance Health posted $197.6 billion in operating revenue in 2025 with net income of $5.7 billion, even as the entire health insurance sector grappled with a host of challenges. Boudreaux has guided Elevance Health through the turbulence with a deliberate pivot toward services: Carelon, the company's health care services division aiming to create whole-health integration across categories like medical and behavioral health, is designed to broaden the company’s revenue mix and build greater resilience for the business in a dynamic environment.
