About Clark Bitney

I am a dynamic healthcare executive with a proven track record of driving innovation, strategic growth, and high-impact partnerships within the pharmaceutical and specialty pharmacy sectors. With over 15 years of experience across market-leading organizations including Evernorth, Accredo, CuraScript, and Express Scripts, I bring deep expertise in contract strategy, product development, and business transformation. In my current role as Senior Director of Pharma Contracting & Strategy at Evernorth, I support two enterprise offerings generating more than $5 billion in annual revenue. I have successfully led the launch of new capabilities, developed first-of-their-kind pharma contracts, and helped pioneer innovative models for gene therapies, biosimilars, and GLP-1 therapies. Throughout my career, I have excelled at bridging business strategy with operational execution. I have overseen growth strategies for billion-dollar therapeutic categories, launched the nation’s first gene replacement therapies, and secured a U.S. patent for a novel medication dispensing system. I have led and developed cross-functional teams, championed customer-centric solutions, and played a key role in enterprise pricing and integration strategies. I graduated from Saint Louis University with a MBA and a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. Additionally, I have earned executive certifications from the University of Notre Dame, Villanova University, Missouri State University, and the Pragmatic Institute, among others. I am a Six Sigma Green Belt, a graduate of multiple leadership development programs, and a past advisory board member. Known for my entrepreneurial mindset, analytical rigor, and collaborative leadership, I look to be a catalyst for innovation and growth in the healthcare industry.
