can someone help explain to people how someone who has no competencies in data, AI, or analytics becomes a chief data and AI officer of a fortune 25 company -- who's frat brother is this guy.? someone must know what connections this guy must have. what a joke this company is...just wow. leadership continuing to show they really have zero clue about anything tech/digital but reportedly they are "experts" - will be our downfall (well one of several)

Ask Alice Chen. She seems to think he’s the shining star of Centene! 😳
This company makes poor decisions on who to place in tech leadership positions. Some Humana dinosaurs are still around.
I’m not sure whether PL is competent for the role. However, I do know that sometimes people get positions because of their connections. For example, Mariella Fermin works at Centene and is married to Mike Carson.
@bw who is cozy? Do you think you can threaten or scare me about more layoffs?
What degrees do you expect him to have? I have friends that went to top MBA schools that literally admitted all they did was party and classes weren't a big deal at all. Ripping someone for only having an undergraduate degree (and a useful one) is a choice.
@bv don't get too cozy more layoffs on the way
I swear lately, some of you just stew in bitterness and look for anything and everything to complain about. It sounds ridiculous to be honest. Things are faaaarrr from perfect and there are legit concerns but running here every second to complain about everything without merit is absurd.
The idea that having “only” a college degree would be a problem is insane. Collecting degrees is not an indicator of ability. PL is more than qualified and capable of succeeding in the role.
Wait up!!! A guy who has just a BS in Finance is seriously the Chief Data and AI Officer of this company - that cannot be true??? I give up with this place LOL
According to the internet, he has a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Finance.
@a9 hilarious you’re getting downvoted.
Peter is our current VP of Financial Analytics and was a former VP of Data and Analytics, but OP says they have “no competencies” in data or analytics.
He came from the right family and went to the right schools. He gets to cushy job. Thats how it works. Who do you think came up with this whole racket to steal government money offering insurance and call it HealthCare?
Unless the data’s gotten a LOT better since I left, I wouldn’t want to be in his shoes.
Centene is miles behind their comp, with Cognizant and Accenture or without. The data is hot garbage, and they their institutional knowledge go. This is building a castle on sand territory.
“ who has no competencies in data, AI, or analytics becomes a chief data and AI officer of a fortune 25 company”
Uh this guy was a VP and Director in our Data and Analytics department for several years before taking the Med Econ position - which I would note is absolutely an Analytics position just not one within BTS.
Did you even bother to familiarize yourself with PL’s background before running to complain about this to farm for upvotes?
