Rob has been Sunnybrook’s interim CIO since January, while a national search was conducted for the best candidate to lead Sunnybrook through its next stage of digital transformation.

Rob earned his Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from York University and has a postgraduate Advance Training Designation in Networking Technologies from Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University).

In addition to CIO, Sunnybrook has added the designation of VP, Digital Health to Rob’s title. This was done to be purposeful about the position’s organization-wide responsibility to help drive toward Sunnybrook’s vision of inventing the future of healthcare.

As Sunnybrook’s president and CEO, Dr. Andy Smith said of the new VP, digital health role: “This position is responsible for helping the entire organization realize its incredible potential to discover new and innovative ways of caring for patients.”
