Sanjay Joshi has joined Tanium as the global chief information officer (CIO) for healthcare and life sciences, making him our first but far from last vertical-industry CIO.
In his new role, Sanjay will act as the company’s healthcare strategist, leveraging his deep understanding of the industry, speaking in public to articulate Tanium’s business value for healthcare, and acting as the company’s public face in healthcare by writing blog posts, attending conferences and more.
He joins Tanium after two and a half years with Dell Technologies, where he was industry CTO for healthcare. Before that he was at Dell EMC for six years. He also spent time at H2O.ai, where he was chief of technology for healthcare and life sciences.
Fond of drawing parallels between seemingly disparate fields, Sanjay says the COVID-19 pandemic has helped him see the strong connection between IT security and the human immune system. He goes as far as calling immunology “the security of biology.”
