Jack has done IT consulting and management work for a variety of large healthcare clients including Cook County Hospital in Chicago, the University Hospital of Louisville where he oversaw the IT system for their new $383 million facility, and University Hospital in Las Vegas.

As the medical care IT market continued its significant growth, Jack founded his own company, EHC, in 2000. EHC quickly emerged as the small, nimble, highly competent organization that could rapidly respond to environmental IT concerns of a client. Jack later merged EHC with maxIT Healthcare. As a result of the merger, maxIT experienced explosive growth and became the largest and fastest growing firm in the country. In 2012, Science Applications International Corporation (NYSE:SAIC) acquired maxIT for $520M and quickly spun off a new company, Leidos Health (NYSE:LDOS), which had an IPO valued at $4 billion. Jack’s abilities quickly distinguished him as a leader in the commercial healthcare IT field as he focused on growing Leidos Health to bring about transformation of the healthcare industry and significantly impact people’s lives.

In March 2017, Jack retired as a Vice President of Leidos (Commercial Health) and in 2018, co-founded Strategic Healthcare Connections, LLC where he leverages his vast experience and deep network to connect select companies which possess exceptional products and services with entities who need them.
