Centene CFO Drew Asher to Retire as Chris Neczypor Named Successor
Centene Corporation announced a long-term leadership transition as Chief Financial Officer Drew Asher prepares to step down from his post on December 31, 2026. He will be succeeded by Chris Neczypor, a former Lincoln Financial executive, who joins the health insurer in September to begin a structured handover period.
Asher’s tenure as CFO, which began in 2021, coincided with a period of significant expansion for the healthcare enterprise. During his leadership, Centene grew its annual revenue from approximately $126 billion to $195 billion by 2025. Neczypor arrives from Lincoln Financial, where he served as CFO and held various leadership roles across investment and strategic planning since 2018.
