This personnel change is more of a positive signal. After the company experienced a shooting incident, an irresponsible former CEO (blindly expanding scale leading to a decline in profit margins, long-term remote work not being in the company), and worsening medical costs, the former CEO, who once led UNH to become a leading enterprise, has returned. The former CEO possesses extremely professional expertise and excellent connections, while the new CFO is a seasoned veteran within UNH with extensive experience and will take charge of UNH's most profitable Optum division. This is actually a great positive signal, clearing the remnants left by the previous unreliable CEO. The company will once again be led by professional and reliable veterans, and the style will return to the traditional steady growth.
