Head of Microsoft Applications

Candidate Description

With more than 25 years steering technology programmes within the hospital and health-care sector, this professional merges strategic vision with hands-on expertise to deliver complex digital transformations. They have guided national application portfolios for a major healthcare organization, demonstrating mastery across Electronic Medical Records, Patient Administration Systems and Microsoft Dynamics 365 FinOps. An MBA-qualified leader, they balance financial stewardship, vendor governance and stakeholder engagement to maximise clinical and operational outcomes.

Their technical acumen is reflected in successful platform consolidations that replaced 100+ legacy systems with Meditech, EPIC, UKG Dimensions and Dynamics 365 solutions, all while safeguarding service levels for 43+ hospitals. Adept at Agile and ITIL practices, they have architected high-throughput integration patterns using the Rhapsody engine, led multi-million-dollar PAS deployments, and orchestrated rapid-response COVID-19 capacity projects without disrupting patient services. Contract negotiations with 20+ technology partners and rigorous budget oversight underscore their commercial competence.

Complementing this depth, they cultivate high-performing teams—expanding project-management headcount seven-fold, mentoring future leaders and lecturing at an educational institution on digital health foundations. Their adaptability across healthcare, education and not-for-profit environments, coupled with a relentless focus on efficiency and service excellence, positions them as a transformative leader capable of driving innovation and sustained value in any digitally ambitious organisation.
