    Analysts and investors reacted favorably to CVS Health Corp.’s April 8 announcement that the company had hired a new chief financial officer and expected to “meet or exceed” the 2025 financial guidance it had outlined in February. CVS also hired a new chief medical officer, continuing its executive turnover that began last year and included the ousting of CEO Karen Lynch and Brian Kane, president of the Aetna health insurance subsidiary.  

    CVS hired Brian Newman as CFO, replacing Thomas Cowhey, who had been in that role since January 2024 after being the interim CFO for three months when Shawn Guertin took a leave of absence. Cowhey will serve as a strategic adviser to CVS CEO David Joyner, effective May 12.
