Jim B.

Product & Operations Leader — scaling healthcare SaaS, EMR-adjacent workflows & AI automation

15+ years building and scaling healthcare SaaS platforms used by millions of patients and thousands of clinical and operational staff. I specialize in EMR-adjacent workflows, practice-management solutions, AI/ML automation, and multi-location SaaS environments. I’ve led product strategy, workflow modernization, data platforms, and automation across organizations including Datavant, Phreesia, Syapse, Ontada, CVS Health, and Partners Healthcare—delivering measurable efficiency gains in intake, scheduling, documentation, compliance, and oncology data platforms. Core strengths: product strategy & delivery at scale, workflow automation that reduces manual touches and improves accuracy, deep clinical and operational domain expertise (HIPAA-first architecture & interoperability), and building high-performing product and engineering teams. I’m interested in opportunities at the intersection of healthcare, AI, and operational scale—let’s connect.
