Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) announced on December 16, 2025 a leadership transition in its Insurance segment.
George Renaudin, Insurance Segment President and member of the Enterprise Leadership Team, will retire by the third quarter of 2026 after a 29-year career. He will serve as a strategic advisor through December 31, 2026, then move to the variable staffing pool (temporary worker status) until March 1, 2027. During the advisory period he keeps his current base salary, annual incentive opportunity and benefits; during the VSP period he receives no salary, only an hourly rate for work performed, plus continued equity vesting.
At the end of the VSP period, and subject to a general release and non-compete and non-solicit compliance, he will receive benefits under Section 3 of the Company's Executive Severance Policy. Aaron Martin will join in January 2026 as President of Medicare Advantage, a newly created role reporting jointly to Renaudin and CEO Jim Rechtin. After Renaudin's transition, Martin becomes Insurance Segment President, and John Barger, currently President of the Medicaid and Dual Eligible programs, will be promoted to President of Medicare Advantage, reporting to Martin.
Martin previously served as Vice President of Healthcare at Amazon and as Executive Vice President and Chief Digital Officer at Providence. In a separate Regulation FD disclosure, Humana reaffirmed its FY 2025 guidance of approximately $12.26a diluted GAAP EPS and approximately $17.00 Adjusted (non-GAAP) EPS, consistent with its November 5, 2025 press release and December 1, 2025 Form 8-K. The company stated it does not expect changes to Adjusted EPS guidance but may see changes to GAAP EPS guidance from ongoing value creation and strategic initiatives.
