Benjamin comes to the Humana Foundation from Eli Lilly and
Company, where she serves as President of the Lilly Foundation and
Senior Director, Social Impact. She manages the company’s corporate
social responsibility efforts, disaster relief efforts, global
health initiatives, Environmental, Social and Governance strategy,
and community civic engagement. In 2020, she led Lilly’s global
philanthropic efforts in response to the COVID-19 pandemic as well
as its philanthropic efforts to address racial inequity in the
United States.
“Our board of directors is excited to introduce a leader of
Tiffany’s caliber to help guide the strategic direction of the
Humana Foundation while continuing a legacy of supporting
organizations that do indispensable work in our communities,” said
Bruce D. Broussard, President and CEO of Humana, and chairman of
the Humana Foundation board of directors. “She brings a strong
sense of purpose and deep strategic perspective to engaging our
communities and accelerating best health outcomes for all.”
Her deep experience will be invaluable at the Foundation, which
last month celebrated its 40th anniversary as a philanthropic
advocate for health and well-being and a champion for health
equity. In this role, Benjamin will help the Foundation pioneer new
ways to co-create healthy communities, sustain advances in health
outcomes, and eliminate unjust differences in health and health
care, in particular among the vulnerable senior population. She
brings a strong understanding of the social determinants of health
and a passion for closing systemic gaps in education and
employment, wealth and financial security, social connectedness,
and food security.
While at Lilly, Benjamin served in various roles within the
legal function from 2013-2018, including Assistant General Counsel,
Assistant Corporate Secretary; and anti-corruption counsel. Prior
to joining Lilly, Benjamin served as Senior Investigative Counsel
for the U.S. House of Representatives Energy and Commerce
Committee. She has a law degree from Harvard Law School and an
undergraduate degree in Journalism and Political Science from
Indiana University.
Benjamin serves on the boards of the Center for Disaster
Philanthropy, the Indiana University Lilly School of Philanthropy,
the Greater Indianapolis Progress Committee, and the 2024 NBA All
Star Game Committee. She was the recipient of the 2021 Indiana
University College of Arts and Sciences Outstanding Young Alumni
Award and the 2021 United Way of Central Indiana Exceptional
Executive Award.
Her skills will complement and expand upon Humana’s commitment
to collaborating with local partners and investing in scalable and
innovative models that demonstrably enhance health and well-being,
especially in Humana’s Bold Goal communities. Under her leadership,
the Foundation will further improve the quality of life and the
quality of place in the communities we all serve.
“I’m honored to join The Humana Foundation and raise its focus
on health equity, especially at such a pivotal time in our
country,” said Benjamin. “The Foundation and Humana Inc. have
worked hard to assemble innovative partners and initiatives across
the country and I’m eager to join them in their goal of helping
communities across the U.S. and in their hometown of Louisville,
Kentucky.”
