Humana Inc. (HUM) said Karen DeSalvo has resigned from the company's board, effective Tuesday.

Dr. DeSalvo resigned to avoid the appearance of any conflict of interest as she plans to pursue a new executive opportunity, the company said, adding that her decision wasn't a result of any disagreement with Humana's management or board.

Dr. DeSalvo served as acting assistant secretary for health at the Department of Health and Human Services from October 2014 to January 2017. She currently teaches medicine and population health at the University of Texas at Austin's Dell Medical School.

She was elected to Humana's board in November 2017.
