Sonny Goyal
Senior Vice President, CuraCor Group, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina
As the head of diversified business for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (Blue Cross NC), Sonny Goyal is responsible for managing our non-insurance companies and resources that advance the company’s strategy to improve access, quality, and affordability of health care in North Carolina and beyond. Managing a multibillion-dollar portfolio of companies, partnerships, joint ventures, and minority investments, Sonny’s impact includes enhancing patient health care experiences with over 1.1M patient visits in North Carolina and managing over 1.4 million members across the country.
Sonny’s leadership focus is on the transformation of the US health care system via improvements in access, quality, and affordability. He knows that real change is possible from the convergence of strategic investments, health care payer provider partnerships, and purpose driven leadership. Because Sonny serves as an Advisor to Echo Health Ventures as well as multiple company Boards including Curation Health, Brighton Health Plan Solutions, Alo Solutions, and FastMed, he knows the potential power of connections across payers, providers, and customers. He brings this experience to his speaking engagements, such as HLTH, DYNC, McKinsey Health Summit, Reuters, Emids Healthcare Summit, and Becker’s Healthcare, to spark innovative thinking among industry leaders who must embrace the art of the possible. Sonny’s multidisciplinary approach is rooted in his undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering from Tufts University and his MBA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Kenan-Flagler Business School.
