Pete Hess Email & Phone Number

Pete Hess is a Technical Program Manager at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They is proficient in Spanish. Colleagues describe them as "I've had the pleasure of working with Pete for seven years with some of that time as my direct manager. In those seven years, I was able to work closely with him on a variety of projects both large and small. Throughout those experiences, I came to know Pete as someone who cares deeply about the people and the work he does. He is able to find solutions to complex problems both of people and technology. As a manager, Pete was someone I felt I could trust to speak with openly and honestly. He was sympathetic to my frustrations or concerns but also challenged me and helped me see different perspectives I wasn't always considering. When my concerns were valid, I could rely on him to communicate those concerns appropriately and take action to address them. He is one of the best examples of a servant leader I've had the opportunity to work with. He helped foster a safe and fun work environment where you could enjoy going to work. Pete is the kind of person I would love to work with again and would be a great addition to any company." and "Pete is in the 99th percentile of technology professionals, with that rare combination of ethics, intelligence, and interpersonal skills. He’s one of those people who can excel at anything he undertakes, and bring people along with him. I hired Pete Hess when he was "just a kid" over 20 years ago at Intermountain Health, when we were building the first true enterprise data platform in healthcare-- combining clinical, financial, and claims data in a single technology environment. We went our separate ways for a few years after Intermountain, then crossed paths again at Health Catalyst, when I assumed leadership for product and technology. We inherited an enormous load of technical debt, installed at dozens of client sites. It was a daunting task to fix. Pete and his team somehow managed to build a new platform, while also supporting the existing install base, and migrating all of that from a private data center into the Azure Cloud. They turned Health Catalyst into a true product engineering company, whose products now touch 1/3 of the patients in the US. Healthcare data and technology are certainly his strengths, but with his skills and experience, he can work at the senior executive level in any industry with any technology. He made my life easier at Intermountain and again at Health Catalyst. I’m excited for him that he’s leaving Health Catalyst, and will bring his expertise to the betterment of other companies and teams. Thank you for all you’ve done for me, Pete!"
