UnitedHealth Group CEO Andrew Witty has issued an emotional tribute to Brian Thompson, the head of the group’s insurance arm, UnitedHealthcare, following Thompson’s death at the hands of a gunman.
Thompson, a key figure in the U.S. health insurance industry, was fatally shot in an incident Witty described in an op-ed published on Dec. 13 as an “unconscionable act” that has left Thompson’s family, friends, and colleagues grappling with profound grief.
