- Independence and time commitment: Board affirmed independence; HUM caps outside board service at 4 for non-CEO directors—Klevorn serves on 2 public boards, within policy limits .
- Investor confidence signals: Strong 2025 re-election support (99.5M “for” vs 0.44M “against”); Say-on-Pay support was 91% in 2024 and 89.31M “for” votes in 2025—indicative of shareholder alignment with board oversight of compensation .
- Compensation alignment: Director pay is balanced between cash fees and annual RSUs with stock ownership guidelines and prohibited hedging/pledging, supporting long-term alignment without incentivizing short-term risk-taking .
- Potential conflicts/red flags: None identified specific to Klevorn; financing arrangements with director-affiliated entities reviewed and found immaterial; HUM’s related party policy and annual independence review mitigate conflict risk .
Overall, Klevorn’s deep IT/cyber background and role as Technology Committee Chair enhance board oversight of data governance, AI/cyber risk, and digital transformation—areas highlighted by HUM’s investors and governance disclosures—while audit membership adds financial control rigor; re-election margins and ownership policies support investor confidence .
