WOONSOCKET, R.I., Oct. 16, 2023 - CVS Health (NYSE: CVS) today announced several leadership updates, effective immediately:
"Our thoughts are with Shawn and his family during this difficult period," said CVS Health President and CEO Karen S. Lynch. "The Board and I have every confidence that Tom and Mike will ensure we continue to execute our strategy seamlessly while we give Shawn time to be with his family."
Cowhey joined CVS Health in February of 2022. He previously served as CFO of Surgery Partners Inc., and before that spent more than a decade at Aetna in various strategy and finance roles. Since joining CVS Health, he has overseen investor relations, corporate development, treasury, and finance operations, working closely with Guertin and Lynch to manage the Company's overall financial strategy.
