Ms. Duncan previously served as the president of the Texas market at Bright HealthCare and as the chief growth officer for CVS/Aetna in the Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico markets. She has 20 years of experience in strategic planning, sales and business development, consumer market research and operations management.

In 2021, the Texas Legislature passed House Bill 3752 which authorizes Texas Mutual to create a subsidiary to provide health benefit coverage. Recently, the Texas Mutual Board of Directors approved the creation of this subsidiary, which, subject to TDI approval, plans to introduce a new health coverage option to small businesses in early 2024.
As president and CEO of the subsidiary, Ms. Duncan will lead the next steps in its product offering and market launch.
