\n Brown & Brown Names Katy Wong National Pharmacy Practice Leader\n <\/h1>\n\t\n <\/div>[vc_column_text]SOUTHBOROUGH, Mass., April 24, 2024<\/strong> \u2013 Brown & Brown is pleased to announce that Katy Wong has been named National Pharmacy Practice Leader, a newly created position. In this role, Katy will drive business and customer engagement strategies, lead the development of pharmacy benefit-related innovation and intellectual capital and further strengthen the firm\u2019s pharmacy consulting capabilities. Based in Las Vegas, Nevada, Katy reports to Mark Abate, a managing partner for Brown & Brown.<\/p>\n

Katy joins Brown & Brown from Cigna, where she served as chief pharmacy officer. In this role, she led the creation, adoption and evaluation of clinical pharmacy programs, products and services. Katy\u2019s successful 26-year career at Cigna included numerous roles of increasing responsibility, including vice president, broker\/consultant relations, senior clinical director, account management and sales, and manager for managed care operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very pleased to welcome Katy Wong to Brown & Brown,\u201d said Barrett Brown, president of Brown & Brown\u2019s Retail segment. \u201cHer proven track record of growth and success will greatly enhance our ability to help customers better navigate the dynamic and challenging employee pharmacy benefit space.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am excited to join Brown & Brown at a time when pharmacy benefit plan design and management continues to be a top issue for both our customers and their people,\u2019\u2019 said Katy. \u201cThe speed of innovation in pharmaceutical offerings and coverage brings treatment advancements but provides significant issues surrounding cost, access, efficacy and employee well-being. I look forward to further strengthening our trusted advisor status among our pharmacy benefit customer group.\u201d<\/p>\n
