WORK HISTORY
Executive Director - National Health Plan Analytics @Kaiser Permanente
I run a system, not a team.My work is building the data and analytics foundations that let leaders operate under scrutiny, reconcile the numbers once, and make decisions at scale. In complex, highly regulated environments, that trust layer is the difference between debating dashboards and actually running the business.Most organizations talk about “insight.” I focus on trust, resilience, and throughput — the conditions that make insight actionable instead of debatable.I tend to work upstream, shaping problems before they harden into requirements, then staying close enough to execution to make sure the foundations hold when the stakes are high.What that looks like in practice:• Transformed a $120M multi‑year investment into a cloud‑agnostic analytics ecosystem spanning operational, financial, and regulatory reporting across all markets and business lines.• Launched the organization’s first government programs data product in 84 days, establishing a reusable platform that supported a $250M+ Medicare financial turnaround and ongoing Medicare and Medicaid performance with measurable service and financial impact.• Modernized a $20B pharmacy analytics platform, hardening resilience and enabling faster, more explainable insight in one of the Health Plan’s most critical business lines.• Oversight of a $50M+ portfolio of advanced data engineering initiatives focused on platform modernization, AI/ML use cases, and infrastructure resilience.• Aligned IT, finance, clinical operations, and compliance around shared data products and decision logic, reducing friction and accelerating delivery in high‑stakes environments.

SKILLS
ABOUT ALEX LOWENTHAL
I represent a new generation of healthcare leaders—born in operations, fluent in data, and built for transformation.Two decades across care delivery, health plans, and enterprise analytics have taught me how to turn operating models into execution engines. I specialize in orchestrating AI-enabled service flows—bridging strategy to system design—and converting ambiguity into scalable architecture: Databricks + Azure lakehouse modernization, Exadata retirement, semantic layer standardization, and federated governance across integrated care + coverage and government programs (Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE).My differentiator is not theory. It’s translation velocity. I design the connective tissue between vision and the real world: orchestration patterns, knowledge-base-augmented agents, capability teams, and platform decisions that compress cycle time, unlock data value across claims + membership ecosystems, and reduce cognitive load for operators and members.I don’t chase trends. I engineer what’s next.And I don’t wait for transformation. I architect it.
