Cerner Middle East & Africa
appoints new general
managers to focus on
consumer-based health care
(Dubai, UAE) --
Cerner
Middle East & Africa today
announced the appointment of
two additional general
managers to strengthen its
client engagement model in
the Middle East. Adrian Dey
has been appointed as the
new general manager for
Qatar, and Michael Schelper,
chief operating officer in
the Middle East & Africa,
will take on the additional
role of general manager for
the United Arab Emirates (UAE)
and Kuwait.
The move comes at a time
when Cerner Middle East &
Africa has established a
strong presence in the
region and is working with
client organizations to
support a focus on
population health
management.
Dey has more than 18 years
of experience in IT managed
services, with a primary
focus on client
relationships, transition,
transformation, and service
delivery. Before joining
Cerner Middle East & Africa,
Dey had leadership positions
with Electronic Data
Systems, Hewlett Packard and
Injazat Data Systems (a
Mubadala company).
Dey's
new appointment is in
support of the plans of
Qatar’s Ministry of Public
Health and other leaders in
the country. Dey will be
responsible for advancing
Cerner’s government-level
relationships with providers
and suppliers to help
facilitate improved health
outcomes.
"Adrian will be a key member
of our management team,
identifying opportunities to
collaborate more closely
with the ministry and our
existing client
organizations to fulfill
their strategic vision,"
said Mike Pomerance, vice
president and managing
director, Cerner Middle East
& Africa. "I am confident
that Adrian will lead Cerner
on the next phase of our
journey in Qatar."
Schelper joined Cerner in
2009 and has had various
regional leadership roles,
including in business
development, sales,
consulting, mergers and
acquisitions and operations.
As the chief operating
officer for Cerner Middle
East & Africa the past two
years, Schelper has led
Cerner’s core business
operations including
quality, performance
management and new market
entries. In his new role,
Michael will oversee
strategic client alignment
and development with clients
to shape the future of
health care.
Schelper's focus will be to
support the UAE and Kuwait
governments to achieve a
world-class, seamlessly
integrated health care
system that manages the
population, one person at a
time.
"Michael has proven to be
both a dynamic leader and
accomplished at strategy
execution. Under his
leadership, we’ll continue
working with Cerner’s client
organizations to enhance the
health care experience for
patients and caregivers,"
said Pomerance.
Over the past 26 years,
Cerner has collaborated with
leading health care
organizations in the Middle
East to create integrated
health care systems designed
to help improve the
patient’s experience with
the person at the center of
care. This highlights the
region’s vision to create a
healthy population by having
a health care system whose
services are accessible to
the entire community.
Dey and Schelper join Ali
Slimani and Bachir Awad as
Cerner Middle East & Africa
general managers.
Slimani joined Cerner in
2005 and has had
client-facing and
implementation roles. As a
general manager, Slimani
manages all facets of the
Cerner business development
relationship with health
care organizations to
facilitate making the vision
of these prospective clients
a reality.
Awad joined Cerner in 2006
and has worked in different
leadership capacities around
the globe. In his current
role, Awad oversees
strategic collaborations
with the United Arab
Emirates' Ministry of Health
and Prevention, Al Jalila
Children's Specialty
Hospital and the Abu Dhabi
Health Services Company. The
alignment between Cerner and
its clients helps accelerate
the use and adoption of
health IT with the goal to
improve the health and
well-being of the UAE
population.
