Intuitive Surgical stock adds Humana insurance chief to board

Intuitive Surgical announced on Monday, November 2, that Aaron Martin, Humana's President of Insurance, will join its board of directors effective January 1, 2027. The company said the appointment is subject to Martin's continued willingness and ability to serve.

The announcement was published by Intuitive Surgical. Martin's current role at Humana covers strategy, growth, operations and financial performance across the insurer's portfolio, and he serves on Humana's Enterprise Leadership Team.

Healthcare experience broadens oversight

Before joining Humana, Martin spent almost four years as Amazon's Vice President of Healthcare. The company said he launched Amazon Clinic, a message- and video-based telehealth platform, and developed Amazon's Health Conditions Programs with digital-health companies.

Martin previously served as Executive Vice President and Chief Digital Officer at Providence St. Joseph Health, where he led the consumer-facing digital business and founded Providence Ventures. Intuitive CEO Dave Rosa said Martin's experience across payers, providers and patients would sharpen the board's thinking as the company seeks to expand access to minimally invasive care.

With Martin's appointment, Intuitive's board will increase from 10 to 11 members. The company said Martin will not serve on any board committees as of the effective date.
