CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield announced today that Steve Martenet has been named president of Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Ohio.
“Steve’s Ohio roots and passion for transforming the health care system to improve access and affordability make him a perfect fit for this role,” said Anthem’s West Region President Pam Kehaly. “Our members, clients and business partners in Ohio will greatly benefit from his extensive experience.”
Martenet has more than two decades of experience in the industry, having held senior leadership positions with progressive strategic responsibility at Anthem including president of commercial business in Missouri and Wisconsin, and vice president of sales in Ohio and Kentucky.
