Cambridge, Mass.– ConcertAI has named Eron Kelly as its new chief executive officer as the healthcare AI company positions itself for accelerated innovation and growth. Founding CEO Dr. Jeff Elton will step down from the top role and transition to vice chairman of the board.
Kelly joins ConcertAI from Inovalon, a cloud-based healthcare software provider, where he served as president since 2021. At Inovalon, Kelly led the company’s evolution into a cloud-first SaaS and data-as-a-service provider and introduced AI-driven solutions across business units, driving double-digit growth. His previous leadership roles at Amazon Web Services and Microsoft included overseeing product marketing for over 40 AWS services and helping build Office 365 into a $13 billion business.
“I am honored to join ConcertAI at such a pivotal moment,” Kelly said. “The company has built an exceptional foundation of data, AI technologies and customer relationships. I look forward to working with the talented team to accelerate our product roadmap and deliver measurable value for our customers.”
The leadership shift comes as ConcertAI continues expanding its generative and agentic AI capabilities for life sciences and healthcare. Under Elton’s leadership, the company established itself as a pioneer in multi-modal clinical data and enterprise-scale AI, securing major partnerships with NVIDIA and leading diagnostics companies. He also oversaw key acquisitions, including imaging firm TeraRecon and CancerLinQ, a nationwide oncology clinic network.
“Elton has built an extraordinary foundation, and I’m confident that under Eron’s leadership, ConcertAI will further strengthen our position in enterprise AI,” said Executive Chairman Dr. Romesh Wadhwani. “This leadership transition marks a strategic evolution in our company’s growth journey.”
Elton, who helped make ConcertAI one of the first companies in its sector to achieve EBITDA profitability, will continue to support the company’s strategy and partnerships as vice chairman.
“These past 18 months have confirmed that our company and the industry’s future are going to be driven by new generative and agentic AI solutions,” Elton said. “Eron brings the product expertise and vision to help us capitalize on the tremendous market opportunities ahead.”
