BridgeHealth, an industry-leading provider of surgical advocacy and

Ph.D., MBA has joined its executive team as Chief Technology Officer.
Jamsa brings extensive computing and healthcare knowledge and experience

healthcare startup that leveraged innovative solutions to put patients
in control of their electronic medical records, and vice president of

Distinguished Enterprise Architect for Cox Automotive.
Leveraging his entrepreneurial spirit, Jamsa successfully grew two
companies from startup through acquisition. A life-long learner, Jamsa
holds a doctorate in Computer Science, a second doctorate in Education,
an MBA, and four additional master’s degrees (Computer Science,
Information Security, Project Management, and Education). He earned his
undergraduate degree from the United States Air Force Academy. Jamsa has
authored 115 books on all aspects of programming, computing, and
security, and he is currently working on his most recent book titled
Data Mining and Analytics.
Jamsa will report to Mark Stadler, BridgeHealth’s President and CEO, and
oversee all information-technology and data-science solutions, system
security, and business-intelligence capabilities for BridgeHealth.
“Kris is highly regarded in the technology and academic worlds as an
inspiring and transformational leader and will be responsible for
further growing and developing BridgeHealth’s technology, security, data

“BridgeHealth is transforming how healthcare is delivered and how
patients are treated – emotionally, financially, and clinically –
starting with planned surgery,” said Jamsa. “I’m excited to join the
BridgeHealth team. I look forward to leveraging data and technology to
build a “smarter” business that supports our team in creating better
healthcare experiences for our clients and their members as well as our
