“Cory is the perfect addition to our team as he brings more than 20 years’ experience launching and growing insurance plans, including provider-affiliated plans. Cory’s vision, drive and performance focus, combined with his commitment to developing a lasting relationship with our clients, will ensure Texas Health Aetna continues to build on its market momentum,” Caruncho-Simpson said.
The company announcement said that Scott will drive Texas Health Aetna’s strategic direction and will also lead Aetna’s North Texas and Oklahoma regions.
