Compensation History

See how much did Angela F. Braly make over time.

Angela F. Braly's compensation as CEO was quite variable. In 2010, she earned about $13.4 million, composed mainly of her salary, bonuses, and performance-based stock awards. Most of her pay was linked directly to how well Elevance performed against key financial targets, including operating gain, member health, and individual leadership results. However, in 2012, her total compensation dropped significantly due to not meeting the expected performance benchmarks. During her final year, her total pay was $1.36 million, showing the stark contrast in her earnings related to performance. This highlights a typical structure in executive pay where high rewards align with high responsibility, but also risks if performance falters. Her story illustrates the ups and downs of leading a major corporation in a complex environment and how closely tied a CEO's success is to the company's overall outcomes.
