CVS Names Chief Information Officer to Lead Aetna Integration

CVS Health Corp. has tapped a new chief information officer tasked with integrating its information technology and data with IT systems used by Aetna Inc., which the drugstore chain acquired last year in a $70 billion deal.

Roshan Navagamuwa, who over the past year served as interim CIO, was named CIO and executive vice president of the combined health-industry giant, leading all areas of technology operations and innovation, according to a statement provided by the company. The move is effective immediately.

He reports to the firm’s executive vice president and chief operating officer, Jonathan Roberts, the company said.
