Enterprise technology leadership.On your side of the table.
Alana Health is the fractional CTO and CIO team for healthcare organizations that need real senior leadership — without the cost or risk of a full-time hire.
Independent. HIPAA-aware. Senior operators only.
Healthcare deserves better technology leadership.
Most mid-market healthcare organizations are running mission-critical technology decisions through an office manager, controller, or a single overworked sysadmin. Vendors operate in silos, AI pilots quietly die, and the board keeps asking for a roadmap that no one has the bandwidth — or the seniority — to write.
We started Alana Health to close that gap. Our team has spent decades inside global enterprises like Nestlé and Etihad Airways, leading the kind of technology programs that mid-market healthcare organizations have never had access to. Now we bring that experience to clinics, hospitals, and workers' comp groups — as their fractional CTO and CIO, embedded in the business and accountable to outcomes.
Senior operators. Real enterprise track record.
Every Alana engagement is led by senior practitioners — not junior consultants shadowing a partner.
Ray Weale
20+ years leading enterprise technology at global organizations, including senior roles at Nestlé and Etihad Airways. For the last 4 years, Ray has been helping multiple healthcare companies modernize their technology, govern AI safely, and turn vendor sprawl into measurable outcomes. He founded Alana Health to bring enterprise-grade vendor oversight, AI governance, and program management to mid-market healthcare CEOs who can't (or shouldn't) hire a full-time CTO.
Focus: AI strategy, vendor oversight, board-ready technology roadmaps, HIPAA-aware governance.

Focus: Data governance, BI architecture, analytics that operators actually trust.
Dragana Stoimenova

Focus: Salesforce Health Cloud, custom integrations, EHR & RCM connectivity.
Five principles that guide every engagement.
We sit on your side of the table.
Independent of every vendor. Always.
Most healthcare AI fails because of dirty data — not bad models.
Governance and data quality come first.
Strategy without execution is theater.
We ship roadmaps, not slideware.
ROI gates beat science experiments.
Every initiative gets measurable outcomes — or it gets cut.
HIPAA-aware by design.
Compliance and security are built into every engagement from day one.
Enterprise depth. Without enterprise overhead.
Alana Health is part of the MARRA ecosystem — a network of senior technology operators, data scientists, and engineers who have led programs at the world's largest enterprises. That means every Alana engagement can scale from a focused fractional CTO retainer to a full delivery team without the friction of finding, vetting, and onboarding new vendors. You get one accountable partner — with the bench depth of a global firm.
