Mr. Ahmad is the Chief Executive Officer and a director of Anthelio Healthcare Solutions, Inc., one of the largest independent providers of information technology and business process services to hospitals, physician practice groups and other healthcare providers. Mr. Ahmad served as a Senior Vice President and General Manager of Information and Technology Services at McKesson Specialty Health between 2010 and 2013.  From 2003 to 2010, he served as the Vice President of Diagnostic Services for the Duke University Health System and Medical Center, and he also held various faculty appointments at Duke University from 2004 to 2011. Prior to that, Mr. Ahmad served in various positions with Ohio State University Health System and Medical Center between 1992 and 2003, serving as Administrator and Chief Information Officer, Chief Technology Officer and the Chair of the Clinical Technology Council at the time of his departure.

Mr. Ahmad earned a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from the University of Engineering and Technology in Pakistan, a master’s degree in biomedical engineering from Ohio State University, and a master’s degree in business administration from Ohio State University.

As a non-employee director, Mr. Ahmad will be compensated in accordance with the Company’s compensation policies for non-employee directors, which are as described in the Company’s proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Upon his election to the Board, Mr. Ahmad received a pro-rata portion of the annual cash retainer payable to directors, as well as a pro-rata portion of the 4,081 shares of restricted stock granted to each of the Company’s directors in 2014.
