Mr. Buduma stepped into the CEO role at Ambience Healthcare in September 2025, having co-founded the company in 2020 alongside his partner. The company’s mission is to free clinicians from the administrative burden of the EHR and enable them to deliver the best possible patient care. He brings to the CEO role the deep technical credibility of one of the early pioneers in deep learning research and the author of Fundamentals of Deep Learning, the first widely adopted textbook on modern AI. As CEO, he leads day-to-day operations, drives company growth and product innovation, and ensures Ambience continues to deliver transformative impact for clinicians and patients. Since its founding, Ambience has raised $343 million in funding, scaled to a team of more than 200 employees across engineering, clinical and go-to-market functions, and partnered with more than 40 leading healthcare organizations including Cleveland Clinic, San Francisco-based UCSF Health, Houston Methodist, Houston-based Memorial Hermann Health System, and Kansas City, Mo.-based St. Luke’s Health System. The platform has achieved a 97.7% spotlight report score from KLAS Research in the ambient AI category, and has become the first ambient AI technology to expand beyond AI scribing into pre-charting, coding, clinical documentation improvement and clinical decision support.
