“Sean is a proven leader and entrepreneur with an established track record in defining and building businesses within the healthcare industry,” Foran wrote in an internal Walmart email. “Previously Sean served as President of the Population Health Division for Healthways, one of the nation’s largest and most awarded population health and wellness companies with more than $700 million in annual revenue. Sean has also served as CEO of Care Innovations, an Intel-GE joint venture company, and was Vice President of Innovation at Humana. I am delighted to bring such an experienced executive on board to lead a critical area of our business.
