Paul Lopez Email & Phone Number

I’m inspired to do my part to help improve our complex healthcare system in the United States and places in the world where my employer operates. My mission is to combine technology with humanity and compassion to help people lead healthier lives. I am a seasoned executive with a performance history of bringing fresh ideas to help senior leaders solve complex business and technical challenges.I have had the fortunate opportunity to lead large-scale enterprise information technology transformational initiatives resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars in cost savings while setting up my clients for future innovation success.I am fascinated by open-source technology, academic research, and incorporating GenAI into solutions and business transformation. I believe cultivating a hobby of software linguistics keeps your mind sharp. More recently, I have dedicated my personal and professional attention to Generative AI programming, agentic AI and open source LLMs.I help CIOs re-think traditional datacenter and legacy operations as a systematic spectrum of migration to public cloud environments, first just moving workloads there, then re-engineer them to leverage truly cloud-native performance and value creation capabilities.I am very hands-on; I like to see how the technology works for myself and whether it’s ready for prime time. Once I am convinced, it becomes an excellent candidate to add to my client’s technology portfolio. As a calculating engineer, I have found the “best of need” is often more practical than “best of breed.” I treat solution delivery as a lifecycle, not a one-and-done approach.I have enjoyed creating and delivering sophisticated IT solutions that include everything from agile application development, software-defined infrastructure, data analytics, Generative AI strategy & applications, DevOps, IT operations, and all things cloud. I have been able to analyze client and market trends to create products in managed services, cloud platform services, consumer applications, microprocessors, networking, public WiFi, Internet, Web, and mobile. I have a working knowledge of governance, risk, and compliance constructs such as SOC, PCI, HIPAA, and InfoSec HITRUST. I have often been called to turn-around technical delivery and operations demanding strong financial and organizational change management skills. I helped co-found an inner-city, non-profit children’s academy and am seeking to serve on non-profit and corporate boards.
