Cerner MEA appointed two additional general managers to strengthen its client engagement model in the Middle East. Adrian Dey has been appointed as the new General Manager for Qatar and Michael Schelper, COO in the Middle East & Africa, will take on the additional role of General Manager for the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait.
The move comes at a time when Cerner Middle East & Africa has established a strong presence in the region and is working with client organizations to support a focus on population health management.
Dey’s new appointment is in support of the plans of Qatar’s Ministry of Public Health and other leaders in the country. Dey will be responsible for advancing Cerner’s government-level relationships with providers and suppliers to help facilitate improved health outcomes.
“Adrian will be a key member of our management team, identifying opportunities to collaborate more closely with the ministry and our existing client organizations to fulfill their strategic vision,” said Mike Pomerance VP and Managing Director, Cerner Middle East & Africa.
Schelper’s focus will be to support the UAE and Kuwait governments to achieve a world-class, seamlessly integrated health care system that manages the population, one person at a time. “Michael has proven to be both a dynamic leader and accomplished at strategy execution. Under his leadership, we’ll continue working with Cerner’s client organizations to enhance the health care experience for patients and caregivers,” said Pomerance.
