Emids, a leading provider of digital engineering, artificial intelligence, and platform solutions for the healthcare and life sciences industry, has announced the appointment of Seth Kutty as Chief AI Officer. In his new role, Seth will lead Emids’ AI and data strategy, supporting clients across payer, life sciences, and health technology markets as they transition from AI experimentation to measurable, enterprise-scale outcomes.
Seth brings over 20 years of experience in building analytics-driven platforms and AI solutions across healthcare, enterprise software, and global services. He has previously held senior leadership roles at Kaiser Permanente, Tesla, VMware, and Intuit, where he worked closely with executive teams to translate data and AI investments into tangible business impact.
At Emids, Seth will play a key role in shaping how AI is designed and scaled across healthcare environments. His focus will include grounding AI systems in a healthcare-specific ontology that reflects real-world workflows, decision logic, and regulatory requirements. His appointment supports Emids’ continued expansion of its Service as a Software model, which integrates healthcare domain expertise, Forward Deployed Context Engineers (FDCEs), and AI-enabled platforms to deliver predictable and scalable outcomes.
This strategy is further strengthened by Emids’ growing portfolio of AI assets, including Pacca AI, its agentic AI platform designed to embed intelligence directly within core operational workflows.
“In healthcare, the winning AI won’t be the fanciest. It’ll be the most context-aware,” said Abhishek Shankar, Chief Executive Officer, Emids. “Seth knows how to build AI that thrives in real workflows and real regulation. He’ll help us convert AI ambition into outcomes by hardwiring healthcare ontology and Forward Deployed Context Engineers into every deployment.”
In addition to his corporate leadership experience, Seth is also a repeat entrepreneur, having founded and scaled a data and AI services company to a successful exit. His expertise spans AI platform architecture, analytics modernization, and enterprise adoption, with a strong emphasis on governance and interoperability.
“I’m excited to join Emids at a time when healthcare organizations are looking to move AI from experimentation to real value,” said Seth Kutty, Chief AI Officer at Emids. “Emids’ focus on grounding AI in domain context, and forward-deployed expertise creates a strong foundation for building AI that reflects how healthcare works. I look forward to working with clients and teams to scale AI in ways that are practical, trusted, and sustainable.”
