About The Position

Ontario Health (OH) is leading one of the most significant digital health transformations in Canada. As the provincial agency responsible for connecting and coordinating Ontario’s health system, OH works across hospitals, primary care, home and community care, long-term care, mental health, and other sectors to advance more integrated, connected, and digitally enabled models of care. Guided by its values of Integrity, Inspiration, Tenacity, Humility, and Care, OH is helping shape the future of healthcare delivery through innovation, collaboration, and large-scale digital transformation. The Position OH is seeking a bold, results-focused, and enterprise-minded digital executive to serve as its next Senior Vice President, Digital Health & Chief Digital Officer (SVP & CDO). This role leads one of the largest and most complex digital health portfolios in Canada and will help shape the next generation of connected, digitally enabled, and increasingly virtual models of care across Ontario. As a member of OH’s Senior Leadership Team, the SVP & CDO will provide strategic and operational leadership for the organization’s Digital Excellence in Health (DxH) portfolio, overseeing a broad digital ecosystem that supports healthcare providers, clinicians, organizations, and patients across the province. With responsibility for more than 1,150 staff, a multi-hundred-million-dollar budget, and a portfolio of more than 150 digital products and services, the scale and complexity of this mandate is unmatched in the Canadian healthcare landscape. The SVP & CDO will play a central role in advancing Ontario’s Digital First for Health strategy through large-scale digital modernization, enterprise architecture, interoperability, and coordinated implementation across a highly interconnected healthcare system. Key priorities include primary care digital transformation, clinical information system integration, enterprise data services, cloud transformation, cybersecurity and cyber resilience, AI and automation enablement, virtualization of care, and modernization of critical provincial digital platforms. Working closely with government, healthcare providers, clinicians, hospital digital leaders, vendors, and executive leaders across the system, the SVP & CDO will help advance a more connected, integrated, interoperable, secure, and clinically enabled digital environment across Ontario. This role requires a collaborative and influential leader who can build alignment across a decentralized healthcare landscape while driving disciplined execution, operational excellence, and measurable system impact. This is not simply a technology leadership role, it is a system leadership role with the opportunity to shape how healthcare is delivered, connected, and experienced across Ontario for years to come.
