Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina has selected its next president and CEO.
Blue Cross NC announced on Monday that Dr. Tunde Sotunde will begin on June 1 after the trustee board picked him for the jobs.
Sotunde is a pediatrician who is currently president of the Medicaid unit of the government business division within Anthem Inc. He succeeds Patrick Conway, who resigned in September under pressure after a vehicle wreck and impaired-driving charge three months earlier. An interim CEO is currently in place.
Sotunde previously held leadership positions at Amerigroup Georgia, Solera Capital, UnitedHealthcare, and Cigna.
