Informed Solutions has appointed digital technology specialist Jude Williams as Director of Healthcare and Life Sciences.

This senior addition to Informed Solutions follows significant UK healthcare growth over the past 24 months alongside Informed’s growing international focus across healthcare, public safety, environmental management, and transport across public and private sectors.

Bringing a wealth of experience in data and analytics, Jude joins Informed Solutions from Cognizant, where she led its UK&I practice for Data, AI & Analytics.

Working closely with the leadership team at Informed, she will help healthcare clients meet the most demanding digital transformation challenges, embracing innovation to make better decisions and improve performance, leading to better patient care and patient outcomes.

Key to this will be taking advantage of Informed’s trusted, proven, and scaled capabilities in data analytics, data science and AI and its potential for community-based care provision; the digital upskilling of today’s and tomorrow’s healthcare workers; and a clear focus on patient safety and disease prevention.
