In this compelling episode of Breaching the Boardroom, David Mauro sits down with Dr. Sergio Sanchez—former surgeon, Apple Genius, Activision IT leader, and now Head of IT at Coleman Health Services. From building computers in a video game startup’s basement to navigating the complexities of healthcare IT, Dr. Sanchez shares the extraordinary twists of a career defined by curiosity, compassion, and adaptability.
You’ll hear how a childhood fascination with a dusty Apple IIe sparked a lifelong love of technology, how 9/11 changed his path forever, and why he believes being a great leader means making life easier for your team. The conversation also dives into the real-world implications of AI in healthcare, leadership lessons from working across wildly different industries, and the human side of technology adoption.
This is more than a career story—it's a powerful reminder of how technical skill, empathy, and a sense of mission can shape an impactful journey.
Topics Covered:
– Bridging healthcare and IT with purpose
– The future of AI in medicine and cybersecurity
– Lessons from Apple, Activision, and Vatican partnerships
– Leadership styles that inspire loyalty and high performance
– The realities of modern cyber risk and digital trust
