Tiffany Benjamin, CEO of the Humana Foundation, Named Chief Influencer

The Communications Board names Tiffany Benjamin, CEO of the Humana Foundation and founding partner of Face the Fight, a Chief Influencer.

What does it look like to lead with empathy, humility, and a fierce commitment to community? In this episode of Chief Influencer, Tiffany Benjamin shares her unexpected path from Harvard Law School to becoming one of TIME’s 100 most influential philanthropists. Grounded in early experiences serving seniors and driven by a passion for equity, Benjamin reflects on how deep listening and authentic relationships have guided her approach to leadership and systems change.

At the helm of the Humana Foundation, she is reshaping how philanthropy addresses root causes of poor health by prioritizing curiosity, collaboration, and community voice. Whether she’s launching intergenerational programs, sitting in the back of the room to better hear others, or simplifying grant processes to reduce nonprofit burden, Benjamin models a new kind of influence—one rooted in respect, transparency, and connection. Her story is a powerful reminder that real impact comes not from titles, but from how we show up for others.
