Angela Braly, WellPoint Chief Executive Officer |
Named CEO of WellPoint in June 2007, Angela Braly burst through the glass ceiling of the health insurance industry only to earn $26 million less than her male predecessor did. In 1994, as president and CEO of Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Missouri, the savvy and skilled businesswoman was instrumental in converting the nonprofit into an investor- owned company, subsequently, when WellPoint acquired Blue Cross in 2001, Ms. Braly joined them, and grew successfully with the company. |
