SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — Brad Reimer, chief technology and digital officer at Sanford Health, will join a panel discussion at Reuters Momentum AI Conference on April 28, in New York. The event convenes global executives to explore what will define AI leadership over the next decade and how organizations can translate rapid innovation into sustained enterprise value.
Reimer will speak during a panel discussion, Looking Ahead – What Will the Enterprise AI Ecosystem Look Like? The panel discussion will examine how enterprise AI operating models are evolving, which emerging technologies will be critical to long-term success and how leaders can make future-proof investments while navigating uncertainty and accelerating change.
As AI adoption accelerates across industries, organizations face increasing pressure to move beyond experimentation and deliver measurable impact – while managing cost, complexity and regulatory expectations.
“Across health care, the conversation is shifting from experimentation to execution,” Reimer said. “As the largest rural health system in the country, we’re focused on scaling what works – building the operating model, including forward-deployed engineering teams and agentic platforms, to deliver value consistently across a very large geography. AI is fundamentally redesigning workflows in ways that expand capacity and enable more proactive, connected care, especially for aging and rural populations. The organizations that lead will be those that operationalize AI at scale—embedding it into everyday work and delivering measurable, sustained impact.”
Other panelists include, Wei Manfredi, senior vice president of AI & architecture with IHG hotels, Rajeev Sukumaran, vice president, head of IT and chief information officer at Boehringer Ingelheim, Tom Ellis, head of consumer technology and chief information officer at Bank of America and Aravind Srikumar, senior vice president of product management & marketing at Upscale AI.
As chief technology and digital officer, Reimer oversees technology systems, strategy and the digital experience for Sanford Health patients and employees. In this role, he’s responsible for identifying emerging digital and AI capabilities that accelerate technology modernization and enable systemwide transformation. Reimer also leads a forward-deployed engineering team that partners with clinical, operational and administrative teams to redesign care delivery and advance value‑based care through technology‑enabled solutions.For more information about Sanford Health, visit SanfordHealth.org
