Mass General Brigham CTO Nallan Sriraman Departs

By Healthcare Technology News ·

Nallan Sriraman has departed as chief technology officer of Mass General Brigham, the Somerville, Massachusetts-based health system, after nearly four years in the role, according to Becker's Hospital Review. Sriraman announced the move Oct. 1 on LinkedIn, thanking his team and colleagues and saying he is proud of what they accomplished together. He added that he would share news on his next chapter soon.

The exit leaves a key technology leadership seat open at one of the nation's largest and most research-intensive health systems, a role that typically oversees infrastructure, data platforms, and increasingly the rollout of AI tools across clinical and administrative operations.

Senior technology leadership at large systems has seen steady turnover as hospitals push deeper into digital transformation and artificial intelligence. Who Mass General Brigham names next, and how quickly, will signal the system's near-term priorities for its technology agenda.
