Healthcare Field CTO

About the role

Cohesity is seeking a Field CTO for Healthcare to serve as our senior technical and strategic leader within the healthcare vertical. This is a highly visible, externally-facing role that bridges deep industry expertise with Cohesity's data security and management platform.

Responsibilities

• Serve as Cohesity's primary healthcare industry voice externally — speaking at conferences, authoring content, and engaging with healthcare executives, CIOs, CISOs, and CTOs as a credible peer and trusted advisor.
• Partner with field sales and SE teams on strategic opportunities, participating in executive briefings, workshops, and proof-of-concept engagements with healthcare customers and prospects.
• Translate complex healthcare data challenges — including data protection, ransomware resilience, regulatory compliance, and AI-readiness — into compelling narratives that connect to Cohesity's platform capabilities.
• Build and maintain relationships with key industry bodies, health systems, payers, and technology partners in the healthcare ecosystem.
• Act as the primary conduit between the healthcare field and Cohesity's Product Management organization, surfacing customer requirements, validating roadmap priorities, and advocating for capabilities critical to the vertical.
• Develop and maintain Cohesity's healthcare-specific point of view — including use cases, reference architectures, and competitive positioning — in close collaboration with product, marketing, and engineering.
• Inform go-to-market strategy for healthcare, including segmentation, solution packaging, and partnership priorities.
• Enable and upskill account teams on healthcare-specific selling motions, industry dynamics, regulatory requirements, and technical architectures.
• Serve as an escalation resource for complex technical or strategic situations in key healthcare accounts.

Requirements

• 15+ years of experience in enterprise technology, with a significant portion focused on the healthcare vertical.
• Deep, hands-on familiarity with healthcare IT environments — including Electronic Medical Record (EMR/EHR) systems (Epic, Cerner/Oracle Health, etc.), PACS/VNA infrastructure, HL7/FHIR standards, and clinical workflows.
• Strong understanding of the healthcare regulatory landscape, including HIPAA, HITECH, and emerging AI governance considerations.
• Experience in a field-facing technical leadership role — Field CTO, Chief Medical Information Officer, VP of Healthcare Strategy, or equivalent — with a track record of influencing large enterprise decisions.
• Ability to engage credibly across a wide spectrum of stakeholders, from clinical informaticists and IT architects to C-suite executives and board-level audiences.
• Familiarity with data security, backup and recovery, and data management concepts as they apply to healthcare environments — direct experience with Cohesity or competitive platforms is a strong plus.
• Strong executive presence, exceptional communication skills, and demonstrated ability to develop original thought leadership content.
• Willingness to travel regularly to customer sites, industry events, and Cohesity offices.
• Demonstrated ability to leverage AI tools to enhance productivity, streamline workflows, and support decision making.
