Ajay K Gupta, CISSP, MBA
Founder & CEO, HSR.health
Over a 20-year career in cybersecurity and information technology, Ajay has seen companies create true competitive advantage from successful management of security and technology initiatives. At the same time, healthcare is burdened with outdated technology infrastructure and inefficiencies - which are often measured in human lives. Ajay decided to take his understanding of technology and implementation to disrupt and innovate healthcare.
In launching HSR.health, Ajay leverages the best of tech to transform American healthcare into a system that innovates healthcare delivery achieving improved quality, lower costs, and health equity. Under Ajay's leadership, HSR.health pivoted to support COVID response in the US and globally. And through its lessons learned has developed insights into how health risks impact broader markets. The company is developing a digital Pandemic Early Warning and Response Platform to identify and mitigate impact of future pandemics.
In addition to his work at HSR.health, Ajay Chairs the Health Domain Working Group for the Open Geospatial Consortium, the global standards setting body for all things Geo; serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Holy Cross Health, a multi-hospital social safety net health system in Montgomery County, MD and the Flagship System for Trinity Health, a $20+ Billion health system with 94 hospitals across 22 US States; is a Commissioner on the newly formed Commission on Nurse Reimbursement; serves as the Co-Lead for the Healthcare Infrastructure work group of the Group on Earth Observation (GEO) Health Community of Practice (CoP); and is a member of the College Board of Visitors for Wake Forest University.
If he isn't using the HSR.health geospatial platform to map disease rates against social factors to identify solutions to population health challenges, such as the opioid epidemic or maternal mortality, you can find him at sporting events (#LetsGoNats, #ALLCAPS) or behind the mic bursting eardrums while belting out his favorite pop music tunes from U2, Sting, George Michael, or Imagine Dragons.
