Rodney Plante recently exited his role as senior vice president and CIO of Optum Health – Care Delivery in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions, according to a LinkedIn post.
“After five impactful years with Optum/UHG, I packed up my Manhattan office this week to prepare for a change. Change can sometimes be intimidating, but it’s an essential part of our growth. Embracing new challenges and stepping out of our comfort zone allows us to develop new skills, gain fresh perspectives and if we’re fortunate, become better versions of ourselves,” he wrote in the post.
Prior to becoming a regional CIO, Mr. Plante was the vice president and CIO of Optum’s ProHealth Care and Riverside Medical Groups. He also spent time as assistant vice president of business development technology at Northwell Health in New Hyde Park, N.Y., and senior director of IT operations and Epic project director at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City.
Mr. Plante said he was grateful for the opportunity to work at Optum Health and urged others to “take risks!”
“By pushing boundaries, challenging the status quo and striving for positive influence, we can lead towards a better world…for our patients and ourselves,” he wrote.
