Brian Henry

SVP, Chief Communications Officer
CVS Health
US

 

When Brian Henry joined CVS Health as CCO last October, he brought with him a long professional history of leading communications for companies in and around the healthcare sector — Cigna, Express Scripts and Bristol-Myers Squibb among them, all representing specialties that are pertinent given CVS Health’s transformation from a pharmacy to a healthcare company. CVS aced its Covid response, offering testing and vaccinations to millions, and continues its shift toward a robust healthcare model that leverages its network of clinics and strength in pharmaceuticals. But 2024 is proving a rough year. The stock took a nosedive in May, and now Henry has to navigate the sensitive issue of store closures, which are hitting minority communities especially hard.
