Ellen Sexton is a Chief Growth Officer at Blue Shield of California. Colleagues describe them as "Ellen possesses the critical skills a successful CEO must have. Working alongside Ellen for several years at UHC I witnessed her leadership in transformational change from her enterprise role across UHC and a market-specific leading role. Leveraging her abilities to communicate her vision and build relationships within and outside of the company, Ellen achieved a competitive advantage that delivered powerful financial and operating results, enhanced her customers’ trust in and experience with the company and increased the brand’s value in her market." and "I worked with Ellen when I was CFO of the Specialty business that she was leading at Humana. She is a leader everyone gravitates toward and wants to be around, with a transformative vision and an inclusive, welcoming approach. She was able to lead the business through strategic changes that accelerated growth and beat all key P&L objectives (Revenue, Membership, and Operating Income) and created a path for sustained success. She engages and inspires others while holding everyone accountable to the shared vision. I couldn't ask to associated with a better CEO."
