Relevance of information?

Both the US case and the China case happened before Witty became CEO. Specifically, the China case refers to events that happened when Witty was responsible for the European business. However, the phrasing suggests impropriety on his part and claims that he "tried to pass the blame to subordinates" when they have, in fact, become his subordinates only after the incidents. It's perfectly fitting to include these in the article on GSK, but it is unclear from what is provided here what they have to do with Witty and especially in the form they are mentioned, they are decidedly non-neutral. If anything, the pleading guilty on the US event was his responsibility. --95.90.157.85 (talk) 09:06, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Hello! My name is Barbara and I work for UnitedHealth Group. I'm here on Wikipedia to submit edit requests and suggest improvements to articles related to the company. I've been working with editors at Talk:UnitedHealth Group, but in this case I'd like to submit a request to update the photo for Andrew Witty, which is several years old and shows him in a former role. Over at Wikimedia Commons, I've uploaded File:AndrewWitty in 2023.jpg and worked with the Volunteer Response Team (VRT) to release permissions. I propose replacing the current infobox image with this more recent photograph and changing the caption to "Witty in 2023".

Thank you! Barbara at UHG (talk) 20:21, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Death Misreported as dead

Major news sources have posted that he has died TheGoldenGladesKid (talk) 14:31, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ignore - WRONG PERSON TheGoldenGladesKid (talk) 14:33, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The person who died was Brian Thompson. Andrew Witty is only in there since he was friends with Thompson, and there was a quote by Witty talking about the Thompson. It is the wrong person, as some people unfortunately don't care to double check. Ali Beary (talk) 14:49, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This death and born date is wrong. Shows he was born (Age 60) and I don’t believe this man passed away. 2600:6C44:3540:3CC:9DDA:32DF:1811:4723 (talk) 16:41, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see. News articles aren’t doing a great job reporting. Good catch.
