Chief Transformation Officers to Know | 2025

Chief transformation officers are the catalysts for lasting change within their organizations. Armed with sharp problem-solving abilities and visionary leadership, these executives define the goals, direction and execution of transformative initiatives that reshape healthcare from the inside out.

Some focus on driving cultural evolution and organizational alignment, while others lead efforts to enhance digital experiences, streamline operations or reimagine care delivery models.

Note: Becker’s Healthcare developed this list based on nominations and editorial research. This list is not exhaustive, nor is it an endorsement of included chief transformation officers, organizations or associated healthcare providers. Leaders cannot pay for inclusion on this list. Leaders are presented in alphabetical order. We extend a special thank you to Rhoda Weiss for her contributions to this list.
