About Swathi West
I’m a healthcare technology executive with experience leading IT operations, cybersecurity, enterprise risk, and large-scale transformation across complex environments. My career spans healthcare delivery, advisory consulting, compliance, and enterprise technology, giving me a broad understanding of how organizations operate and where structure, clarity, and modernization need to come together.At Summa Health, I oversee IT operations, cybersecurity, vendor management, and service delivery for a $2B healthcare system. I work across engineering, architecture, clinical operations, and business leadership to mature our cloud strategy, modernize identity, strengthen resilience, and improve system reliability and the employee technology experience.Before healthcare, I led national engagements at BARR Advisory, supporting healthcare providers and payers with HITRUST, SOC 2, and HIPAA readiness. That experience continues to shape how I bridge security, operations, and business strategy to drive measurable improvement.I’m known for simplifying complexity, building strong teams, improving processes, and leading organizations through change with clear communication and a focus on outcomes. I care deeply about operational excellence, culture, and helping people do their best work.
