A STRATEGIC THINKER HELPS PUSH HIS INDUSTRY FORWARD

摘要

For the past three years, Ron J. Pon-der has been CIO and executive vice president of information services at WellPoint Inc., using his experience to help one of the nation's largest health care providers navigate an industry facing vast IT changes and opportunities. Although Ponder came to WellPoint from outside the health care field, "he is a strategic CIO with cross-industry expertise in best practices and transaction processing that haven't been explored by the health care industry," says Erin Reuss-Hannafin, vice president of IT business operations at the Indianapolis-based company.
