Total compensation for David Cordani at Cigna Group (CI) was $8.0M. Mid-cap public-company CEO packages tend to track this pattern — equity-heavy, multi-year vesting, performance-tied.
The CEO-to-median-worker pay ratio runs 133x. Lower ratios typically reflect companies with higher-paid workforces (financial services, technology, professional services) where the median worker pay denominator is itself substantial. Performance has been positive over the three-year window: TSR of 37.1% alongside 18.6% revenue growth. Compensation packages tied to relative TSR or absolute return benchmarks would have vested at or near target levels with this performance profile.
Shareholders supported the compensation package at 95% on the most recent say-on-pay vote. Solid support without overwhelming endorsement is the typical pattern for established public companies with conventional compensation programs. Cigna Group operates in Health Insurance with 72,000 employees and $227.6B in annual revenue, and currently carries a market capitalization of $95.0B. Pay comparisons across companies require controlling for these structural factors — a $20M package at a $10B-revenue tech company reads differently than the same package at a $1B-revenue industrial.
