Mr. Gupta drives enterprisewide transformation at Novant Health through a strategy grounded in patient-centric innovation, operational excellence and technology integration. He oversees marketing and communications, integrated care solutions and pharmacy solution MedVenta, while leading digital transformation initiatives that include the advancement of AI, automation, and internal consulting to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
