Telstra Health has found its new chief technology officer, appointing Farhoud Salimi from eHealth NSW to the vacant leadership role.
Salimi is set to start on April 17; he is currently the executive director of service delivery for eHealth NSW, and has been with the state-based agency for almost 14.5 years.
“We are delighted to be able to appoint a CTO of Farhoud’s calibre at an important time in our growth and international expansion,” Telstra Health’s managing director Elizabeth Koff said in a statement.
“[He] brings a unique set of skills that will enhance our ability to deliver for our customers and continue to build a safe and reliable ecosystem across the Telstra Health group.”
Telstra started recruiting for a new CTO earlier this year after the retirement of Russel Duncan at the end of 2022.
Prior to working at eHealth NSW, Salimi also spent time with Coca-Cola Amatil, CNA Insurance and Westpac.
A NSW Health spokesperson declined to comment when contacted by iTnews.
