Background

About Alexander Benson

Strategic Technology Program Management Leader with 20+ years of experience driving digital transformation, enterprise system integration, and AI-powered innovation across healthcare and regulated industries. I align IT strategy with business outcomes by leading multimillion-dollar programs that modernize platforms, optimize clinical workflows, and ensure continuity of operations. Throughout my career, I have delivered full lifecycle implementations of PACS, EMR, enterprise imaging, and voice recognition systems. I specialize in building future-ready infrastructure while supporting clinical operations, vendor management, and 24/7 mission-critical environments. In my current role, I led the modernization of systems supporting over 4 million clinical records. I developed disaster recovery and high-availability architecture, planned phased migrations for hospital acquisitions, and acted as the escalation point for vendor and executive stakeholders. My leadership has consistently improved diagnostic speed, workflow efficiency, and user satisfaction. I bring a hands-on approach to project execution, risk mitigation, and regulatory compliance. I have aligned long-term technology roadmaps with hospital leadership, implemented Agile-driven delivery frameworks, and mentored staff into project management and system leadership roles. By consolidating multiple responsibilities typically spread across departments, I have generated significant savings and improved team autonomy. My core strength is in driving collaboration across clinical, IT, and vendor teams to deliver measurable results. I have accelerated diagnostic turnaround by streamlining radiology workflows, integrated tools across surgical and emergency departments, and supported digital health initiatives from concept to launch. I also have emerging expertise in AI implementation and healthcare data strategy, strengthened through recent training and certification.
