For Ode with Anthropic · Principal, AI Transformation (fractional Chief AI Officer)

A fractional Chief AI Transformation Officer for Ode's healthcare and life-sciences clients, from someone who has led product and technology at a regulated medical-device company.

I'm Stephen Mordue, an AI-native product and technology leader in San Francisco with 15+ years across medical devices, B2B / B2C apps, and consumer electronics. I build AI applications that ship and move margins, and I'd like to do that as your Principal, AI Transformation (fractional Chief AI Officer).

What I read about Ode with Anthropic

Ode is Anthropic's services venture, backed by Anthropic, Blackstone, Hellman & Friedman and others, and its Principals act as fractional Chief AI Transformation Officers who embed with client CEOs and deliver production systems. [1]

Three AI applications I'd start with

PE-backed provider roll-up playbook

For PE-owned medical-services platforms: intake, scheduling, revenue-cycle, and call-center agents rolled out across sites with a common margin scorecard.

Medical-device quality and regulatory agents

Agents that draft CAPAs, trace requirements, and assemble audit evidence for device makers, with human sign-off at every step.

30 / 60 / 90

30 days

Listen and map

Meet the leaders who own the outcomes, inventory live AI efforts and data, and agree on 3 measurable target metrics. Ship one working prototype against a real workflow.

60 days

Prove value

Take the top use case to a production pilot with evals, guardrails, and a baseline. Publish a prioritized AI roadmap with build, buy, or partner calls for each capability.

90 days

Scale the system

Turn the pilot into a paved road other teams can reuse, report results in dollars and hours, and line up the next two bets with owners and dates.

Let's talk

If this is useful for the Principal, AI Transformation, Healthcare & Life Sciences search or a related AI leadership need, I'd welcome 20 minutes.
