Gold prices dip as hawkish Fed minutes weigh ahead of Jackson Hole
Investing.com -- UnitedHealth Group Inc.’s (NYSE:UNH) Optum Health care delivery unit leader Amar Desai has stepped down from his role, marking one of the first management changes under returning CEO Stephen Hemsley.
Patrick Conway, who was recently promoted to CEO of the broader Optum division, will now also serve as Optum Health CEO, according to Bloomberg, citing a company memo.
Desai, who had led Optum Health since 2023, will transition to a new position as president of Optum integrated care and vice-chairman of Optum Health. He will continue working with Conway and Hemsley in his new role.
The leadership change comes after UnitedHealth pulled its financial guidance last month, prompting Hemsley’s return to the chief executive position.
Optum Health, which operates clinics and surgery centers, generated approximately $105 billion in revenue in 2024. The division had been UnitedHealth’s fastest-growing profit center until recently.
The management reorganization represents an early indication of Hemsley’s approach to leadership since returning to the top position at the healthcare giant.
