UnitedHealth (NYSE:UNH) has appointed its chief digital and technology officer, Sandeep Dadlani, as the CEO of its data and analytics division, Optum Insight, as the managed care firm continues to reshuffle its senior leadership.
In a LinkedIn post, Dadlani announced his new role at Optum Insight, which houses UnitedHealth’s (NYSE:UNH) health IT unit, Change Healthcare, where a cyberattack occurred last year, resulting in the company incurring more than $9B in relief payments.
“I’m honored and privileged to step into the role of CEO at Optum Insight,” Dadlani wrote, adding, “This is my first week, and I am already convinced that Optum Insight has the team, the technology, and the determination to make it happen.”
He replaces Dhivya Suryadevara, who became Optum Insight’s CEO in May. While it’s not clear if Suryadevara remains at Optum, the appointment marks UnitedHealth’s (NYSE:UNH) latest management change, following the abrupt departure of former CEO Andrew Witty, which brought back company veteran Stephen Hemsley to the leadership role in May.
