Aetna Inc. is preparing for a change at the top.
Dr. John Rowe, the chairman and chief executive officer of Aetna, Hartford, is planning to give up the CEO position Feb. 14 and to give up the chairman title at the end of 2006.
Ronald Williams, the president of Aetna, will take over as CEO when Rowe gives up that title, Aetna says.
Rowe will serve as Aetna’s executive chairman from Feb. 14 until he retires, Aetna says.
