About Michael Cullen

As a seasoned healthcare leader with over 16 years of experience, I am passionate about driving innovation and operational excellence within hospital and healthcare environments. My career has been defined by a commitment to enhancing patient care through strategic initiatives, digital transformation, and the integration of cutting-edge technology. I have successfully managed cross-functional teams and complex projects, leveraging my technical background to develop and implement solutions that address the unique challenges faced by individuals with disabilities and aging communities. As the Founder and CEO of Novalte, I built one of Canada’s first AgeTech solutions, combining software and custom hardware to improve accessibility and user experience. My entrepreneurial journey has equipped me with a robust understanding of business planning, investment management, and vendor relationships, allowing me to secure funding and scale innovative products nationally. In my current role at EY, I provide strategic guidance on provincial health information system implementations, leading initiatives that optimize resource allocation and enhance service delivery. My ability to engage with C-suite executives and collaborate with clinical teams ensures alignment with organizational goals and fosters a culture of continuous improvement. I am dedicated to mentoring and developing teams, promoting cross-functional collaboration, and championing user-centered design principles. My goal is to create impactful solutions that not only improve operational efficiency but also enhance the overall patient experience and health outcomes.
