Oct 11 (Reuters) - Humana said on Wednesday that its longtime CEO Bruce Broussard will step down in the second half of 2024 and named healthcare veteran Jim Rechtin in his place.

Broussard has been the top boss for a decade, while Rechtin is the CEO of Envision Healthcare.

He will serve as the president and chief operating officer of Humana from Jan. 8 next year as part of a long-planned transition, the company said.
