Walker (pictured) worked at Cigna Healthcare for 13 years, starting in Glasgow in 2011. In 2016 he shifted to Hong Kong, where he remained for three years before moving to Dubai. His last day was on 6 September.
With more than a decade of experience in the expatriate health insurance market, Walker was one of the founding team members of the GIH segment for Cigna International Health in 2011.
He held multiple roles for Cigna in the UK, Hong Kong and Dubai, including head of strategy and chief of staff for Cigna’s business in the Middle East and Africa until 2022.
Cigna Healthcare said: “Ross Walker has departed from his role as chief commercial officer for global individual health (GIH) at Cigna Healthcare after serving the company for more than 13 years.
“We thank Ross for his immeasurable contributions to Cigna Healthcare and wish him all the best for the future.”
Walker said via his LinkedIn account: “When something ends, something new begins, as the saying goes.
“Today marks my last with Cigna after 13 years of being part of something very special.
“The unstoppable Global Individual Health business has been home for 10 of those years – a business that has continued to challenge and drive me all this time.
“I’ll miss the buzz of opening the daily sales report, the pride in seeing our teams deliver a great customer or broker experience, but what I’ll miss the very most are the people – colleagues, partners and now, so many friends all over the world.
“Thank you for your endless hard work, your discretionary effort, your resilience and your sense of fun. I’ve been so privileged too to have consistently great leaders past and present. Thank you for your trust, for inspiring me and for the many stretch assignments.
“After much personal reflection, I’m excited to relocate back east to Hong Kong—a city resilient and thriving once again.
“There are some bags left to pack, but I’m looking forward to reconnecting with old friends and starting an exciting new challenge back in Asia next month.”
