What he brings to healthcare audiences

For decades hundreds of AI agents he helped design crawl over 560 billion Data Points of patient data spread out in more than 80 IT systems to save lives inside hospitals by predicting and better managing clinical adverse events.

  • He built the platform rather than advising on one. He designed and led a 560 billion Data Points enterprise AI platform for a large healthcare group on top of 80 IT systems that sits amongst one of the most innovative and gamechanging AI platforms for Strategic and Operational Management in the world, decades before AI was even known.
  • Critical event prediction in real time: the agents he helped design did not stop at insight; they ran inside live hospital operations in critical scenarios and had a tremendous impact, delivering more than $15 million in annual savings to these healthcare organizations.
  • Recognition from the industry itself: Microsoft recognised the platform with the U.S. Worldwide Innovation Award, and HIMSS recognised it with an Outstanding Digital Platform Award.
  • Named among the World's Top 70 Health AI Brains: a recognition that places him in a small group of people who have both built health AI at scale and can explain it to a board.
  • Eighteen years in data and AI: he is Global Chief AI and Data Officer today, he works with CEOs and executive committees across industries (>$1B) on building genuinely AI driven enterprises, spanning this work across the globe from the U.S., Europe, Middle East and Southeast Asia.

The topics he speaks on beyond healthcare

Most of his keynote work vastly expands healthcare. JP is a global executive recognized for moving large organizations 5 to 10 years ahead of their industries in AI and Data Intelligence. He works with CEOs and executive committees across industries worldwide and he lectures at INSEAD's most senior executive programs, Paris and Abu Dhabi. Although his career began in healthcare it has now become global, with his AI work and vision being featured by prestigious entities among which Forbes, Harvard, INSEAD, Heidrick & Struggles, EFG International or SiliconANGLE & theCUBE.

  • Enterprise AI transformation: how large organizations move from pilots to production, and what has to change underneath before that is possible.
  • AI operating models: the structure, the governance and the roles that let AI run inside a business rather than beside it.
  • Agentic AI in the enterprise: what changes when agents take on end to end processes, and where the gains and the risks actually sit.
  • AI augmentation of teams: preparing people for work where the task shifts from doing to directing.
  • Why transformations fail: the distance between hype and execution, and the decisions that separate the organizations that deliver from the ones that stall.

Healthcare AI keynote questions

What is his healthcare AI track record?

He designed and led a 560 billion Data Points enterprise AI platform for a large healthcare group on top of 80 IT systems that sits amongst one of the most innovative and gamechanging AI platforms for Strategic and Operational Management in the world, decades before AI was even known. The platform was recognised by Microsoft with a U.S. Worldwide Innovation Award and by HIMSS with an Outstanding Digital Platform Award, and he was named among the World's Top 70 Health AI Brains. His career began in healthcare, and he works today as Global Chief AI and Data Officer.

Who should book him for a healthcare audience?

Healthcare providers, hospital groups, health insurers, life sciences organizations and health technology events that want a keynote on where AI is actually delivering rather than a tour of future possibilities. He also speaks to the boards and executive committees that have to fund and govern the work, and every keynote is built around the audience in the room.

Does José Pedro Almeida customize each keynote?

Yes. Every keynote is built around the audience in the room rather than delivered off the shelf, and the same material is shaped for healthcare providers, for the boards and executive committees that have to fund and govern the work, and for mixed industry audiences.

Is he a healthcare-only speaker?

No. Healthcare is where his work was proven, not the limit of what he speaks about. He delivers keynotes on enterprise AI transformation, AI operating models, agentic AI in the enterprise, the augmentation of teams with AI, and why AI transformations fail. Healthcare organizations are one audience among many, and a healthcare conference gets a speaker who also works across other industries.

What topics work for a mixed or non-healthcare audience?

Enterprise AI transformation, AI operating models, agentic AI in the enterprise, AI augmentation of teams, and why transformations fail. These topics carry most of his keynote work and are built for boards, executive committees and mixed industry audiences as much as for healthcare. The healthcare platform is the proof behind the argument, not the subject of the whole talk.

Is José Pedro Almeida suitable for CEOs and board level audiences?

Yes. He works today as Global Chief AI and Data Officer, and his keynote work includes the boards and executive committees that have to fund and govern AI rather than only watch it demonstrated. Healthcare is the proof behind the argument, not the limit of the audience.

Does José Pedro Almeida speak internationally?

Yes. He delivers keynotes across Europe, the US and the Middle East, with events in Bangkok, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Paris, London, Madrid, Zurich, Basel, Porto and Lisbon, and a record that includes more than 100,000 executives in those rooms.

What formats are available?

A keynote for a conference or town hall, an executive workshop, a masterclass, or a board briefing. Each format is built around the audience it is delivered to rather than delivered off the shelf.

How can we book José Pedro Almeida?

Reach out to Jose Pedro directly on LinkedIn with your event, dates, city and audience. He confirms availability and next steps personally, and every keynote is built around the event rather than delivered off the shelf.
