Scott Schell

I serve as Chief Medical Officer at Cognizant, where my work focuses on enterprise healthcare transformation across provider, payer, and life sciences organizations. I support healthcare AI, operational modernization, workforce transformation, and large-scale healthcare delivery initiatives spanning clinical operations, product strategy, and enterprise execution.

My background spans surgical oncology, molecular genetics, health management, enterprise analytics, and healthcare operations. I have led transformation and operational modernization initiatives at organizations including Cleveland Clinic, UPMC, and Alere Health, and I have worked across startup, growth-stage, and enterprise healthcare environments spanning technology, operations, and clinical delivery.

Today, my focus is aligning clinical realities, operational execution, and technology infrastructure so organizations can operationalize new models safely, reliably, and at scale. The objective is durable execution, resilient systems, and operationally meaningful outcomes.
