Lois Quam will join as president of Blue Shield of California. She will focus on providing leadership and management of the health plan. Susan Mullaney will join as executive vice president of strategic initiatives, leading special projects that help to transform the broken healthcare system. Both Quam and Mullaney will begin their new roles in August and report to Paul Markovich, CEO, Blue Shield of California.

“Lois and Susan are dynamic leaders who share our mission-driven passion to think big and be fearless in solving the kinds of complex problems we face in health care,” Markovich said. “Our current healthcare system is unsustainable and unacceptable. That’s why we are running hard and fast with talented leaders to make bold moves that fundamentally change the way our healthcare system works and make it worthy of our family and friends and sustainably affordable for everyone.”

Quam comes to Blue Shield from Pathfinder, where she served as CEO of the global nonprofit organization dedicated to improving healthcare access for women and girls, with a focus on maternal and reproductive health care. Previously, she worked with then-Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton at the U.S. State Department to lead then-President Obama’s Global Health Initiative serving Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Prior to those roles, she worked at UnitedHealth Group for nearly two decades, including as a senior executive leading the company’s business division that served the federal government, states and AARP (formerly American Association of Retired Persons).

“I believe California can lead the nation in creative, enduring solutions in health care, and Blue Shield of California is uniquely positioned to lead that charge,” Quam said. “I’m honored to join this talented team in making that vision a reality.”

Mullaney also has deep experience in health care and most recently served as senior advisor at Boston Consulting Group. Previously, she held various leadership roles at Kaiser Permanente, including serving on their national executive team and later as president of Kaiser Permanente Washington. Prior to those roles, she held leadership positions at Fairview Health Services, a hospital system in Minneapolis. In addition, she mentors early-stage, science-based healthcare technology companies through Creative Destruction Lab, a healthcare accelerator that collaborates with leading universities across the globe.

“Health care needs courageous leaders — now more than ever — because we have to do things differently to transform how it works today,” Mullaney said. “Clearly, Blue Shield of California has been doing that and I’m really excited to be part of this team.”

The executive appointments also highlight Blue Shield’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The health plan is one of the largest companies in California to achieve gender balance on its board and the senior executive staff has more women than men. Blue Shield also maintains pay equity by both gender and ethnicity with a balanced representation of women and men in leadership roles (director and above).
