Pat Geraghty to retire as CEO of GuideWell and Florida Blue at end of 2025

Pat Geraghty will step down as president and chief executive officer of GuideWell and Florida Blue, at the end of 2025.

Geraghty has led the organization since 2011, overseeing its transformation from Florida’s largest health insurer into a national health solutions enterprise with operations across the U.S., Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Under his leadership, GuideWell’s revenue grew from $8 billion to $32 billion, and the company now serves more than 38 million people and employs over 18,000.

“Pat Geraghty’s visionary leadership has transformed our organization and positioned us as a national leader in the evolution of health care,” said Thomas G. Kuntz, chairman of the GuideWell and Florida Blue Boards of Directors. “His commitment to our members and communities has had a profound impact.”

Geraghty said his time at the company has been the highlight of his career. “I treasure having had the opportunity to reshape a traditional insurance company into a health solutions enterprise,” he said.

The company’s board has launched a national search for Geraghty’s successor, with Russell Reynolds Associates managing the process. Internal and external candidates will be considered.
