New Centene CEO London Will Bring Tech, Innovation Chops to Her Role
Centene Corp. on March 22 named Sarah London as its next CEO, effective immediately. London, who currently serves as the firm’s vice chairman, will fill the role held by Michael Neidorff for decades, though she has been part of a group of top executives who have handled day-to-day management of Centene since Neidorff took medical leave in late February.
In her previous management role, London was responsible for a “portfolio of companies independent of Centene’s health plans, designing differentiated platform capabilities, and delivering industry-leading products and services to third-party customers,” per a March 22 press release. Before coming to Centene, she worked for UnitedHealth Group’s venture capital arm, Optum Ventures, and its data analytics division.
