Cigna appoints new CEO of European operations

Cigna has appointed Arjan Toor as its new chief executive officer of European operations.

In his new role, Toor will lead the newly-combined operational structure, which spans International Organisations (IGO’s and NGO’s), European employers as well as the company’s solutions for globally mobile individuals.

The new structure, which brings together all of Cigna’s European business units, will enable Cigna to deliver affordable whole health solutions and accelerate innovation to better meet the dynamic needs of customers, clients, communities and partners.

To support its customers, the new operation will have dedicated offices in the UK, Belgium, Spain, Kenya, Dubai, the US and Malaysia.

Toor first joined Cigna in 2011 and has held several roles, including chief marketing officer for Cigna International Markets, based in Hong Kong. Most recently he spent two years as CEO of Cigna International Organisations, Africa and Global IPMI, Cigna’s business for globally mobile individuals.

‘Arjan’s leadership, combined with his deep knowledge of customer and client needs is an important asset to Cigna,’ said Jason Sadler, president of Cigna International Markets. ‘In his previous role as CEO of Cigna’s International Organisations business, Arjan enhanced its position in the market and I am confident that he will continue to drive our growth trajectory.’

Commenting on his appointment and the new operational structure. Toor said: ‘Our new, streamlined organisation allows a greater drive for affordability for our clients, while also helping us create a more tailored and personalised service in markets across the globe.

‘At a time when the cost of healthcare is rising by up to 12% each year and employers want localised solutions for globally mobile individuals, our new organisational structure will be crucial to helping us continue to provide industry-leading, tailored and affordable whole health solutions.’
