In his new role, Ajay will be actively working with Innovaccer’s leadership to drive innovation and enhance the newly launched Innovaccer Health Cloud, on which Innovaccer is building a platform that will power the future of health.
Ajay brings nearly 30 years of experience across healthcare segments, covering commercial and growth topics, strategy, M&A, large-scale performance improvement, and organization design. Ajay is a member of the Board of Directors at BJC Healthcare and serves as non-Executive Director at Healthium Medtech and Director at OnPoint Surgical.

Abhinav and the team at Innovaccer have built a terrific platform that will help the industry deliver greater value, and I look forward to supporting their journey,” said Ajay Gupta.
