Andrew Witty Brian Thompson
In December 2024, UnitedHealth Group CEO Andrew Witty faced heavy backlash after an employee at the company leaked a video of the CEO addressing the killing of Brian Thompson outside a Hilton hotel in Midtown Manhattan. Andrew attempted to shield Thompson’s legacy in a memo sent to staff, referring to his late colleague as ‘one of the good guys’.
“Brian was one of the good guys. He was certainly one of the smartest guys. I think he was one of the best guys. I’m going to miss him. And I am incredibly proud to call him my friend,” Andrew said in the video first released by independent journalist Ken Klippenstein.
“Many have said that we’re all a little better for knowing Brian. There is no truer statement than that. As we begin to move forward, the best way to honour his life and all that he stood for is to carry on his legacy — continuing to do right by the people who’ve entrusted us with their care and those who are counting on us to take care of their loved ones.
Andrew said employees “owe it to Brian to make good on our promise to make health care work better for everybody, in every way.”
