Transforming health care for the military community

As associate vice president of corporate affairs for CareSource Military & Veterans (CSMV), Selene supports the development of the CSMV strategy and is accountable for key stakeholder relationships and implementation of military-focused initiatives that improve health and wellness outcomes for military service members, veterans and their families.

Before joining CareSource, Selene served as a director on USAA's corporate responsibility team and was responsible for leading national military philanthropic strategies. Selene helped to stand up a collaborative public-private campaign and coalition to raise support for veteran suicide prevention efforts and directed USAA's $10 million initial philanthropic investment in evidence-based programs for key nonprofit, academic and clinical organizations.

Previously, Selene spent 15 years with LexisNexis where she helped lead the company's corporate responsibility, pro bono, rule of law and anti-human trafficking efforts.

Selene has a bachelor's degree in marketing from Wright State University, and a certificate in corporate citizenship management from the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship. She is a 2023 Bush Institute Stand-To Veteran Leadership Program Scholar, member of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation's Hiring Our Heroes program and the associated Veteran Military Spouse Employment Advisory Councils, and Society for Human Resource Management Foundation's Military Community Advisory Council. A recipient of the Civilian Champion Award from Syracuse University D'Aniello Institute for Veterans and Military Families, Selene was recognized for her sustained actions to advance opportunity for our nation's veterans and their families.

As associate vice president, market operations, Ted Painter is responsible for developing, implementing and administering health care models that support our nation's mission readiness by improving the health and well-being of military families. Prior to this role, Ted led new-market Medicaid implementations, spearheaded the centralization of CareSource's Enterprise Project Management Office and established the Military & Veterans Support Unit (MVSU), a CareSource employee resource group.

As an actively serving Sergeant Major in the Marine Corps Reserve, a VA service-connected veteran and a current TRICARE beneficiary, Ted's managed care experience and more than 22 years of military service give him a unique perspective when developing military and veteran health care programs.

Prior to CareSource, Ted worked for two Fortune 500 financial service companies, J.P. Morgan Chase and Synchrony Financial (formerly known as G.E. Capital). His roles focused on regulatory and compliance implementations and process improvement initiatives. Ted also facilitated data center migration efforts in support of Synchrony Financial's Initial Product Offering.

He holds an associate degree in manufacturing engineering, a bachelor's degree in political science, a master's degree in information systems management and is a graduate of the Navy Senior Enlisted Leadership Academy.
