Mr. Khosla serves as chief government affairs officer of Humana, responsible for developing and advancing the company’s strategy for public policy, advocacy at the federal, state and local levels, and political giving programs, including the Humana Political Action Committee. He brings to the role more than two decades of experience at the highest levels of federal policymaking on Capitol Hill. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell recognized Mr. Khosla as having been at the “center of practically every major economic policy achievement over the past decade-plus,” a testament to his sustained influence across tax, trade, financial services and healthcare policy. Prior to joining Humana, he served as majority staff director for the Senate Finance Committee, where he directed the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, the most significant overhaul of the domestic and international tax code in 30 years. He’s also been policy director and chief health counsel on the Finance Committee, where he directed the passage of more than 40 bipartisan bills, more than any Congress since 1980. Earlier in his career, Mr. Khosla served as policy counsel to former Senate Majority Leader William Frist, MD, held senior policy roles for the Senate Budget Committee and Senator Orrin Hatch, and served as Senator John McCain’s senior policy advisor for healthcare, labor and entitlement reform during the 2008 presidential campaign. He is a member of the Virginia State Bar and the Supreme Court Bar, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the American Council on Germany, and sits on the board of the Winston Health Policy Fellowship. He brings a breadth of legal, policy and international expertise to his role as one of the most experienced government affairs executives in the healthcare industry.
