Bradley Bolivar joins Centene Corporation as Chief Information Officer

Centene Corporation has appointed Bradley Bolivar as Chief Information Officer, effective August 31, 2026, bringing nearly three decades of technology leadership experience to the healthcare enterprise.

Bradley joins Centene from Fannie Mae, where he served as Chief Information Officer and led enterprise technology strategy across application development, infrastructure, cybersecurity, data, artificial intelligence and workplace technology.

In his new role, Bradley will help advance Centene's technology capabilities as the company continues to focus on using data and technology to improve experiences and outcomes for its members.

Leading Enterprise Technology at Centene

Bradley's appointment comes as Centene continues to position technology, data and AI as strategic capabilities across the organisation.

During his tenure at Fannie Mae, he led enterprise modernisation initiatives, strengthened technology resilience and governance, and expanded the use of AI and automation to support operational performance. His experience spans technology strategy, infrastructure, cybersecurity, data and enterprise applications.

At Centene, that experience will be applied within a healthcare environment where technology increasingly influences how organisations deliver services, manage information and support member experiences.

Bringing Experience Across Technology and AI

Bradley brings experience across financial services, media and consulting, alongside senior technology leadership roles at Fannie Mae and Warner Bros. Entertainment.

His background includes managing complex technology environments while advancing areas such as AI, automation, cybersecurity and enterprise modernisation.

That combination of technology leadership and transformation experience provides a foundation for his work at Centene as the company continues to develop its technology capabilities.

Data and Technology as Strategic Capabilities

Bradley said that Centene's commitment to being data-obsessed and tech-enabled was one of the factors that attracted him to the organisation.

He also highlighted how the company applies those capabilities to creating better experiences and outcomes for the millions of members it serves.

The focus reflects the growing role of technology within healthcare, where data, digital systems and AI can increasingly support both operational decision-making and the experiences of people navigating healthcare services.

Advancing Centene's Technology Agenda

Bradley's arrival comes at a period of continued change across the healthcare industry, with organisations navigating evolving technology requirements alongside increasing expectations around digital experiences, data and operational efficiency.

His mandate at Centene will include building on the technology foundation already in place while supporting the organisation's broader focus on innovation and member outcomes.

Bradley said he was looking forward to building on Centene's existing foundation and helping advance its mission of transforming the health of the communities it serves.

A Leadership Transition in Centene's Technology Organisation

Bradley succeeds Brian LeClaire, who is scheduled to retire by the end of October 2026 as part of a planned transition.

The appointment brings a new technology leader into Centene's executive organisation as the company continues to develop its approach to enterprise technology, data and AI.

Bradley has already begun engaging with colleagues across Centene, including participating in a recent company town hall during his first weeks in the role.
