VP/HEAD OF TECHNOLOGY | HEALTHCARE CLOUD TECHNOLOGY As a highly experienced technology leader with 20 years of experience in IT infrastructure and operations and R&D for the healthcare industry, I am skilled in synergizing and collaborating with international teams to transform regionalized IT services into next-generation global services. My expertise in overseeing all cloud computing models, including SaaS, IaaS, PaaS, DaaS, and SSDN, spans multiple data centers and branch offices in multiple US cities.

As the VP of IT, I have achieved several key accomplishments, including migrating and consolidating multiple data centers to generate multimillion-dollar savings that transformed into revenue. I also initiated analytical approaches that reduced our multimillion-dollar OPEX IT budget by 50%, promoting and campaigning the awareness of utilizing resources wisely in conjunction with adequate risk management.
