As the leader of our Technology Strategy Group, Alex provides strategic leadership in health IT systems and data management to our clients, leveraging more than 14 years of experience as a health care technical executive and systems architect. An expert in health information management, population health, and health data analytics systems, Alex helps our clients use their data as an asset for strategic planning and system redesign. He draws on his health IT expertise to focus on innovating effective and scalable solutions for integrating data, systems, people, and processes across the health care and social sectors to help communities better address the social determinants of health (SDOH) and to succeed in their goals to share data across sectors.
Prior to co-founding Intrepid Ascent in 2014, Alex served California’s East Kern County Integrated Technology Association (EKCITA) HIE as its inaugural chief architect and technology officer from 2007 to early 2013 and later as California Health Information Partnership and Services Organization’s (CalHIPSO) director of technology services. These roles with a pioneering health information organization (HIO) with one of the West Coast’s first HIOs and the nation’s largest Regional Extension Center (REC) during the foundational early days of mass EHR adoption shaped his view that there’s always room for innovation in the U.S. health care system, and that thinking outside the confines of convention are critical to successfully pushing the envelope toward better health. Currently based in our Brooklyn, N.Y., office, Alex was raised in rural California and received a B.A. from the University of California, Berkeley.
Personal Intrepid Ascents: In an effort to simulate his favorite hikes in the High Sierras on the West Coast, Alex plans backpacking trips to every East Coast mountain he can find, taking him farther and farther afield from Brooklyn each time. Next on the list: Quebec!
