He was caught on camera last year swerving between lanes on I-85 in Randolph County, in broad daylight, and then crashing into the back of a Harris Teeter tractor-trailer.
Conway was charged with reckless driving and two counts of misdemeanor child abuse. He was found guilty for all of the charges.
Archdale police described Conway as "absolutely belligerent" during his arrest, noting that he cursed at officer, kicked at a holding cell door and threatened to call Gov. Roy Cooper to have the officers disciplined.
In a statement issued after his resignation, Conway said he was "ashamed, embarrassed and sorry" about the incident. He said he told the company's board members about the arrest and had completed 30 days of inpatient substance use treatment.
"I also understand that I must continue to work hard to earn back the trust I’ve lost based on my actions," Conway said in the statement.
Conway will now head Care Solutions, a division of Optum, part of UnitedHealth Group. According to his LinkedIn, the job will be in Boston.
In an interview with the Reveeler podcast in January, Conway said:
"The biggest change I've made recently is what I'd call self-care. Tried to be focused on family and career for a long time, but got away from things like meditation, exercise, time for self-care and reflection. Then I've been making those investments recently and I think they'll pay long-term dividends."
