Epic has experienced a wave of executive departures and leadership reshuffling over the past several weeks.
Here are 11 executive moves at Epic reported by Becker’s since July 6:
1. Nick Marzotto, a former vice president of clinical applications and AI, who spent 15 years at Epic and led an enterprise generative AI initiative, became vice president of AI and data at PartsSource, a Bain Capital-backed clinical technology platform serving more than 5,000 hospitals and 15,000 clinical sites, on Sept. 1.
2. President Sumit Rana, the second-in-command to founder and CEO Judy Faulkner, left Epic Aug. 14 after more than two decades, citing family reasons following his father’s death. He had served as president since 2024 and is currently “learning,” per his LinkedIn page.
3. Seth Hain, who led Epic’s AI efforts including its Cosmos-based Curiosity tool, departed Aug. 14, after over 21 years at the company. His LinkedIn page says he is “studying, imaging and building.”
4. Dave Fuhrmann, senior vice president of research and development overseeing Epic’s Care Everywhere health information exchange, left in July after 23-plus years at the EHR vendor.
5. Seth Howard took on expanded responsibilities as part of the leadership realignment following Mr. Rana’s departure. He is now Epic’s executive vice president of research and development.
6. Mark Lipsky also assumed added responsibilities under the same plan as vice president of research and development.
7. Erv Walter expanded his role at the company, also as vice president of research and development.
8. Garrett Adams, another senior vice president of research and development, stepped into a broader position.
9. Trevor Berceau took over managing Care Everywhere as vice president of research and development.
10. Drew McCombs, Epic’s former vice president of the Nebula Cloud Platform, Cogito Analytics and AI, departed earlier this year after nearly two decades at the EHR giant to become chief technology officer and chief information security officer at fintech company Cylerity.
11. Mark Morris, a technical services team leader, announced his exit in June after 19 years at Epic for a “midcareer break.”
At Epic’s Aug. 17-20 Users Group Meeting in Verona, Wis., a few executives on this list took the stage, including Mr. Howard, who emceed the “Cool Stuff Ahead” product showcase, and Mr. Walter, who presented on new AI tools for health system IT analysts.
Health system CIOs interviewed by Becker’s at UGM said the transition felt seamless, in part because they already knew the executives stepping into bigger roles.
