CIGNA Names New CIO

CIGNA named Mark Boxer its next CIO. Effective April 25, he will succeed Philip Emond, who is retiring from the company. In this position, Boxer will lead CIGNA's global technology strategy. The pair will work in tandem during a transition period that will extend until later this summer.

“Technology is a key enabler of our go deep, go individual, and go global growth strategy,” says David Cordani, CIGNA's president and CEO. “By providing our customers, clients, health care professionals and other stakeholders with the best-in-class systems they need, we empower them to make more informed and efficient health care decisions. Mark is ideally suited to drive the execution of our technology strategy to best serve our customers and help them live healthier lives.”

Boxer returns to CIGNA, where he formerly led the insurer's eCommerce practice and played a major IT leadership role during CIGNA's Healthsource acquisition and integration. Most recently, however, he was the group president, Government Health Care for ACS/Xerox and global deputy CIO for Xerox Corp. He also has served at WellPoint as CIO, and in a variety of other IT executive roles.
