Veteran technology executive Jonathan Malek has been appointed chief technology officer of Westlake-based Avodah, an AI-driven technology company focused on healthcare and language translation.
Malek brings more than 30 years of experience in technology, with an emphasis on healthcare and a track record of driving innovation, growth, and strategic vision across the sector, Avodah said.
“Jonathan Malek’s wealth of experience and exceptional leadership make him a perfect fit for Avodah as we continue to expand our offerings and further integrate AI-driven technology in healthcare and language translation,” CEO Shawn Ring said in a statement. “His deep understanding of scalability, cloud architecture, and modern technology strategies will be instrumental in elevating AvodahMed and AvodahConnect’s commitment to delivering exceptional value and transformative solutions.”
Co-founder and tech development expert
Malek co-founded Practice Fusion, where he was chief technology officer from 2005 until its acquisition by Allscripts (now Veradigm) in 2018.
As CTO at Practice Fusion, Malek led development of the company’s technology platform, including the architecture of its first web-based user interface and the initial platform services and application programming interfaces, scaling the company’s electronic health record platform to 100,000 daily active users.
Following the acquisition, Malek became CTO and general manager of provider services at Allscripts, overseeing more than 1,600 professionals and transforming the company’s $360 million provider business by merging five distinct business units into a cohesive team, leading to an 8% growth in revenue on legacy products.
Earlier, Malek held prominent tech roles at companies including The Associated Press, where he was responsible for modernizing the search and storage of structured media and partnering with Microsoft Research on image search and classification. At Capax Global, a Hitachi Group company, he was a senior software architect, contributing to software development and system architecture.
“Joining Avodah is an exciting opportunity to be part of a company that is making a profound impact on healthcare and human connection, a company deeply committed to the mission of making everyone seen, known, and understood,” Malek said in a statement.
