A track record of scaling a technology organization from early to growth stage — operating hands-on while building for the long term.
Deep familiarity with healthcare data, compliance requirements, and the regulatory landscape, including HIPAA, industry-standard security frameworks (SOC 2, HITRUST), and state-level data privacy obligations.
Familiarity with value-based care and payer technology frameworks, including how payers evaluate risk stratification, data exchange, and technology partnerships.
Demonstrated experience building and shipping production-grade AI features — agents, AI-native platforms, or similar — with a track record of prototyping and staying at the forefront of innovation.
Strong technical architecture instincts across data platforms, cloud infrastructure, and system integrations, with sound judgment on build vs. buy tradeoffs in a fast-moving environment.
Experience evaluating, negotiating, and integrating third-party vendor and technology partner relationships.
