LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) announced today that Christopher Todoroff, vice president and senior corporate counsel for Aetna Inc., has been appointed senior vice president and general counsel for the firm, effective August 4. Senior Vice President Arthur P. Hipwell, who joined Humana in 1979 and served as general counsel for nearly 15 years, is retiring.
“Christopher Todoroff brings wide-ranging experience, proven effectiveness and profound industry insight to his new role,” said Michael B. McCallister, Humana’s president and chief executive officer. “At Aetna, where he leads the law department’s corporate section, he works closely with the board of directors and has been a strong contributor to that company’s success over many years.”
McCallister praised Hipwell as “a long-time major contributor to Humana’s growth and success. Art’s deep understanding of our business and his ability to define, articulate and drive Humana’s growth opportunities over nearly three decades will be sorely missed.”

He is accountable for all of Aetna’s corporate governance activities and has played a leading role as senior counsel for a range of critical areas including mergers and acquisitions, corporate finance, risk management, and investments, among others.
