Nearly a decade after its launch and expansion under Obamacare, an innovative insurance company with its roots in Norwalk is going public.
Texas-based Signify Health has plans to raise $100 million selling shares to trade on the New York Stock Exchange.
In 2019, Signify Health spent $405 million to acquire Remedy Partners, which was created eight years earlier in Norwalk by Oxford Health Plans founder Steve Wiggins. His idea was to develop a new system for health insurance, with premiums and payments pegged to “episodes of care” covering the span of a patient’s treatment and recovery from an ailment.

Former General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt is publishing a memoir of his 16 years leading General Electric, with the onetime New Canaan resident having moved the conglomerate’s headquarters in 2016 to Boston from Fairfield, while selling off large chunks of Norwalk-based GE Capital.
In “HOT SEAT: What I learned leading a Great American Company” co-authored by Immelt and Amy Wallace, publisher Simon & Schuster promises “a rigorous and candid self-interrogation” of Immelt’s tenure as Jack Welch’s replacement.
