Owns Vizient’s strategy for trusted, reusable information assets. As enterprise leader for MDM, this executive defines the vision, operating model, and stewardship approach that keep critical data consistent and usable across Vizient’s products, operations, and business functions. Serves the whole enterprise, partnering with Data & Digital, Spend Management, Consulting, and shared services and is accountable for measurable outcomes: customer value, operational efficiency, and positioning Vizient as a thought leader in healthcare data standards and ontology.

MDM is a shared capability that succeeds through influence, not centralized ownership. Sets the strategy and operating model that keep information assets trustworthy and consistent enterprise-wide, while business functions retain ownership of their domain data. That requires close partnership with Platform Product Management and Engineering on the MDM platform roadmap, Enterprise Data Governance on policy execution, Product Strategy on integrated solutions, and business units on shared standards. Align business, operations, governance, and technology around a common vision for enterprise data, building a trusted foundation of computable enterprise data assets with clear ownership and decision rights. Central to Vizient’s ability to operate as a unified enterprise, delivering integrated client experiences, accelerating innovation, and strengthening the analytics and AI capabilities that underpin the company’s long-term growth.
