After more than 12 years of service at the UMass Chan Medical School, Greg Wolf, chief information officer, will retire in February. Wolf joined UMass Chan in 2013 and has revolutionized its information technology services during his tenure. Within his first two years, he navigated significant privacy, security and legal concerns to broker an unprecedented agreement between UMass Chan and UMass Memorial Health. Most recently, Wolf developed and executed a five-year campus and data center infrastructure upgrade that puts UMass Chan in the top tier of technology innovators.
According to John Lindstedt, executive vice chancellor of administration and finance, Wolf’s greatest impact came from his ability to attract and inspire a diverse IT workforce that continually improves UMass Chan. The IT Innovative Internship program he created eight years ago has welcomed 80 interns, 44 percent of whom are women and 23 percent of whom came from groups underrepresented in IT, with a quarter of all interns going on to full-time IT jobs at UMass Chan.
“Whether implementing enterprise solutions or helping a single individual solve a unique challenge, Greg’s leadership of IT truly embodies UMass Chan’s advancing together objectives,” Lindstedt said.
Lee Leiber has been appointed UMass Chan’s new chief information officer beginning the last week of March. Leiber joins the Medical School from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, where he has served as the chief information officer for eight years. Leiber said he is most proud of the partnerships he built across the clinical, research, academic and administrative areas, as well as Baylor’s numerous affiliate organizations.
Leiber said he is looking forward to enabling innovative research; exploring new challenges in a leading academic medical environment; and learning from the talented faculty, staff and community at UMass Chan. He grew up in the Northeast and is looking forward to returning to the region.
