Humana announced a planned leadership transition within its insurance segment, with Insurance Segment President George Renaudin set to retire by the third quarter of 2026 after a 29-year career at the company. Renaudin has played a central role in building and expanding Humana’s Medicare Advantage and Medicaid businesses and will remain in place during the transition to ensure continuity, later serving as a strategic advisor through at least the end of 2026.

As part of the transition, Humana will appoint Aaron Martin as President of Medicare Advantage in January 2026. Martin will also be a member of the Enterprise Leadership Team and will initially report jointly to Renaudin and CEO Jim Rechtin. Following Renaudin’s retirement, Martin is expected to succeed him as Insurance Segment President. At that time, John Barger will be promoted to President of Medicare Advantage, reporting to Martin. Barger currently leads Humana’s Medicaid and Dual Eligible programs and brings more than 25 years of experience at the company.

Humana said the leadership changes are designed to strengthen operational focus across its insurance businesses, consolidate Medicare Advantage leadership, and support the company’s long-term strategy centered on value-based care and consumer-focused healthcare delivery.
