He brings deep experience at the intersection of enterprise health technology, AI and ML integration, and strategic alliances. His career spans building partnership ecosystems with hyperscaler clouds, software and advisory firms, and standards bodies, translating complex infrastructure into commercial traction. His measure of success has always been straightforward: the best indicator of a leader is how many people around them get promoted.

At Ferrum, J.R. runs all strategic partnerships, including relationships designed to accelerate product development, compress time-to-market, and drive direct sales. His goal over the next 12 to 24 months is to make Ferrum the default governance layer for AI councils across health systems, building a partner ecosystem so strong that clinical AI governance and Ferrum become synonymous.
