WOONSOCKET, R.I., Jan. 12,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- CVS Health® (NYSE: CVS) today
announced that Sam Khichi will join
the company as Executive Vice President, Chief Policy Officer and
General Counsel, effective February
13. He will lead the legal, compliance, and government
affairs teams who support CVS Health's strategy to make health care
more accessible and affordable, leading to better health outcomes
for all.
"Sam brings diversified experience to many key issues for CVS
Health, including geopolitical matters, data privacy, and
compliance," said CVS Health President and CEO Karen S. Lynch. "He has an exceptional track
record of managing complex health care business and legal
strategies."
Khichi will become a member of the company's executive
leadership team and report to Lynch. Prior to joining CVS Health,
he served at Becton Dickinson as Executive Vice President,
Corporate Development, Public Policy, Regulatory Affairs and
General Counsel. He joined Becton Dickinson through the acquisition
of C. R. Bard where he served as Senior Vice President, General
Counsel and Secretary, and previously was the Chief Administrative
Officer, Senior Vice President and General Counsel at Catalent
Pharma Solutions. Khichi has led significant transformations at
complex and large-scale health care organizations.
"This is an exciting time to join CVS Health and be part of a
team whose strategy is redefining how health care is delivered in
this country," Khichi said. "I have long admired CVS Health for its
innovation and leadership in advancing the consumer health care
experience. Achieving transformation of this scale requires
changing the way information is shared and technology utilized by
consumers, employers, and providers and CVS Health is uniquely
positioned to lead this change."
Khichi succeeds Tom Moriarty, who
plans to retire in April. Moriarty has played a critical role in
many significant CVS Health moments, from the company's
industry-leading role during the COVID-19 pandemic to helping lead
transformative health care acquisitions.
