Person

Who this is

Jim Routh was Aetna's Chief Information Security Officer when Jonathan Hare pitched Resilient at James Kaplan's quarterly McKinsey CISO summit, and he became the arc's primary executive sponsor: with CEO air-cover from Mark Bertolini — reached through Jack Lewin — Aetna ultimately provided $7 million in financing for what was called the WebShield project, funding three and a half years of POCs, pilots and production deployments across Aetna, Experian Health, LexisNexis, the IRS and their vendors. That is the IRS §6055 production proof this corpus cites everywhere, and Routh is the executive who made it fundable. He was also a founding member of the EP3 Foundation's board of directors.

The public record rates him as the record does: Fortune 500 CISO roles across American Express, CVS Health, JPMorgan Chase, KPMG and MassMutual; five years chairing the Health-ISAC; the CSO Hall of Fame and a shelf of the industry's awards; and, at Aetna, one of the most mature converged security programs in the private sector — which is precisely why his multi-year sponsorship of this architecture is among the strongest third-party validations the record holds.
