Second WellCare executive leaving

TAMPA — Tom Tran, WellCare Health Plans Inc.'s senior vice president and chief financial officer, is leaving the company. It was announced he will stay on until another CFO is chosen or until Nov. 30.

“Tom's contributions to WellCare were instrumental at a time when the company was undergoing great transformation,” Dave Gallitano, WellCare's chairman of the board and CEO, says in a press release. “However, it was mutually agreed that it was an appropriate time for Tom to pursue other opportunities.”

WellCare Health Plans has started a national search for a new CFO.
