Cigna announced the following personnel moves on Thursday.

Brian Evanko was named president and COO. He will be responsible for all business lines and report to Cordani, effective March 31. Since joining the company in 1998, Evanko has served in a variety of key commercial and functional leadership roles in the United States and abroad. “Brian's combination of market perspective, deep business acumen and keen focus on execution and value creation make him uniquely suited to lead the next chapter of our company's growth,” Cordani said.
Ann Dennison has been named executive vice president and CFO. In this capacity, she will have responsibility for all enterprise financial operations and functions. Before joining Cigna in early 2024 as deputy CFO, Dennison was executive vice president and CFO for Nasdaq.
Nicole Jones will expand her portfolio of responsibilities to include enterprise marketing. This alignment brings together marketing with other functions Jones already leads, including public affairs; federal and state government affairs; communications; legal and human resources.
Eric Palmer will leave the company at the end of April after serving in key business, finance, strategy and actuarial roles for more than 25 years. He currently oversees the Evernorth Health Services business, which has expanded its service capabilities during his tenure. “I would like to extend my gratitude to Eric for his leadership, commitment and many contributions over his tenure at Cigna,” Cordani said. “He has left a positive mark on the company and our ability to serve the diverse needs of millions of customers and patients. We wish him all the best."

The Cigna Group reaffirmed projected full-year 2025 consolidated adjusted income from operations of at least $29.50 per share; Evernorth pretax adjusted income from operations of at least $7.2 billion; and Cigna Healthcare pretax adjusted income from operations of at least $4.1 billion.
