Former Elevance Health CFO John Gallina and former Carmel, Ind. Mayor Jim
Brainard add international heft to company
leadership
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 5, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Arrive AI, the inventor of the nation's first smart
mailbox platform, today announced that John
Gallina, former Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer of Elevance Health, and Jim
Brainard, former mayor of Carmel,
Ind., have joined the company. Gallina joined the board of
directors and will chair the Audit Committee, and Brainard will
lead the company's municipal partner development efforts.
"We are elated to have both of these impressive leaders join our
team," said Arrive AI CEO Dan
O'Toole. "As we continue to work toward scaling our
products, developing our platform and entering the public company
arena, their insights and connections will be invaluable."
Gallina served as EVP and CFO at Elevance Health, from 2016 -
2023, and as Special Advisor to the CEO until his retirement in
early 2024. He spent nearly 30 years with the company, formerly
known as Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, and Wellpoint, holding
several key management and executive positions throughout his
tenure. Elevance Health reached No. 20 on the Fortune 500
under Gallina's leadership, boasting a $123
billion market cap and is the largest U.S. health
insurance company based on membership.
Arrive AI's smart mailbox platform could help healthcare
organizations improve safety, reduce risk of contamination and
increase efficient deliveries on hospital campuses, for pharmacy
deliveries and between medical facilities.
"The Arrive AI platform offers tremendous potential for the
healthcare industry, and I'm pleased to help expand its reach,"
Gallina said.
Brainard, who Governing Magazine described as "maybe the
country's most prominent suburban mayor," transformed the City
of Carmel in his 28-year
tenure. Under his leadership, the city tripled in size, to more
than 100,000, and is consistently ranked as one of the best places
to live.
"Arrive AI has a transformative platform that I think mayors
across America will want to see in their communities. I'm looking
forward to introducing them to it," Brainard said.
O'Toole hopes to place Arrive smart mailboxes across the U.S.
and internationally. Ancillary benefits of the mailboxes include
giving emergency responders a beacon to find those in need of fire,
police or medical help. Support from government leaders would help
smooth installation of the units in commercial as well as
residential and multifamily housing areas.
"As Arrive AI looks to enter the public market via the Nasdaq,
continuing to attract world-class leadership is paramount, and
we've just achieved that with these two superstars," O'Toole
said.
Gallina and Brainard began working with Arrive AI on
August 1.
