UnitedHealthcare CEO Andrew Witty’s professional reputation has taken a hit as the company is set to launch an internal investigation into his personal life.
According to sources familiar with the situation, the investigation will focus on Witty’s interactions with decision-making executives within the company, particularly in regards to his relationship with a woman described as “a key figure” in his personal life.
As more and more questions have been raised about Witty’s connection to the woman, who has been identified as a former NYPD officer, the investigators will be digging deeper to uncover more information about the board of directors’ understanding of the situation.
This internal review is a result of an anonymous tip that Witty’s personal life has been causing a distraction for the company, which has been among the best-performing assets in the industry.
Insiders claim that the investigation will be an exhaustive search, with a timeline spanning back several years to gather all relevant information and evidence.
Investigations like this typically involve reviewing extensive records, conducting interviews, and gathering digital data, as part of the process to determine if there have been any potential conflicts of interest or other ethical breaches.
