Centene Appoints Fannie Mae Executive as New Chief Information Officer
Centene has appointed Bradley Bolivar, former chief information officer at Fannie Mae, to serve as its new CIO. Bolivar brings extensive technology leadership experience from roles in financial services and media companies like Warner Bros. Entertainment and Sapient. His appointment is expected to bolster Centene’s efforts to integrate artificial intelligence into operations, aiming to enhance member experiences, streamline care delivery, and reduce costs. The health insurer has faced challenges due to unexpectedly high medical spending over the past two years, particularly in government programs such as Medicaid, which make up a significant portion of its business. However, Centene reported progress in 2026 with AI-driven efficiencies helping lower SG&A expenses relative to revenue.
