Jan 24, 2025
UnitedHealthcare on Jan. 23 promoted Tim Noel to CEO, replacing Brian Thompson, who was shot and killed last month in front of a New York City hotel before the company’s Investor Day. Noel has worked at UnitedHealthcare since 2007, most recently as head of the insurer’s Medicare and retirement business. Thompson had been UnitedHealthcare’s CEO since 2021 and began working at the company in 2004. Luigi Mangione, 26, was indicted Dec. 17 on charges of murder as an act of terrorism and reportedly targeted Thompson because of Mangione’s disdain for the health insurance industry.
Abe Sutton, a former policy aide in the first Trump administration, is the likely pick to lead the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, STAT reported. Sutton currently works at health care investment firm Rubicon Partners.

He also served as an adviser to the secretary of HHS.
