Tim Riddle

Tim Riddle is a Healthcare AI Modernization leader with more than two decades of experience building governed, context-aware, AI-ready environments that support clinical, operational, and financial decision-making. He leads Applied AI, Innovation, and Strategic Partnerships at Premier Inc., where he has scaled data and AI capabilities across dozens of health systems. His earliest education in leadership, however, happened on a basketball court in rural Alaska, not in a boardroom. He holds six patents and is a frequent Gartner CIO/CDAO speaker. A central thread in his work is translating enterprise AI investment into governed, trusted capability built on reproducibility, semantic clarity, governance, and maturity — from lakehouse modernization to production AI/BI and emerging agent technologies, grounded in the belief that data and AI exist to keep people safe.
