Mr. Kueter leads UnitedHealthcare Employer & Individual, an $80 billion division of UnitedHealthcare and the nation’s largest business serving the health coverage and wellbeing needs of employers and consumers. He was named CEO in 2022 after a career spanning more than two decades within the UnitedHealth Group enterprise. Prior to assuming the CEO role, he served as CFO of UnitedHealthcare Employer & Individual, providing financial and strategic oversight of a diverse portfolio of health plans ranging from traditional fully insured and self-funded plans to the full scope of ancillary and voluntary benefits. Mr. Kueter joined UnitedHealth Group in 2001, and built a broad and deep understanding of the organization through roles at Optum and UnitedHealthcare Networks before transitioning to Employer & Individual in 2008 to become a health plan market CEO. He subsequently spent nearly six years outside the enterprise developing and leading large-scale, provider-led population health organizations before returning to UnitedHealthcare in 2018 to lead Employer & Individual’s network strategy. This combination of financial leadership, market CEO experience, population health expertise, and network strategy gives him a uniquely comprehensive vantage point.
