Alight, Inc. (ALIT), a cloud-based human capital technology and services provider, announced Monday that the Companys Board of Directors recently appointed Dave Guilmette as Chief Executive Officer. In addition, Guilmette will continue as Vice Chair of the Board.
As part of the Companys previously disclosed succession plan, Stephan Scholl has stepped down as Alights CEO and member of the Board. He will remain with the company as an advisor for six months and continue to help advance the companys strategic initiatives.
Guilmette is a highly accomplished leader in the healthcare and benefits industry who has served on Alights Board since May 2024. He previously served as CEO of Global Health Solutions, a multi-billion-dollar division of Aon. He then served as a Strategic Advisor at Global Health Solutions.
Previous to his leadership roles at Aon, he spent nearly a decade at Cigna, serving as President of the Global Employer Segment and Private Exchanges and 20 years at Towers Perrin (Willis Towers Watson) in leadership roles including serving as Managing Director of the global Health and Welfare business.
In conjunction with his appointment, Guilmette stepped down from the Boards Audit Committee. With Scholls departure, the Board will now consist of 10 rather than 11 directors. In addition, the Company reiterated its 2024 second half business outlook.
