Former Westpac boss Brian Hartzer has taken the reins at data analytics and artificial intelligence player Quantium Health, returning for the first time to a day-to-day management role four years after he resigned from the bank.
Mr Hartzer, who has advised the company since meeting Quantium chief Adam Driussi in 2020, admitted he had limited experience in the healthcare sector but said there were plenty of applications for artificial intelligence. “There is so much data in the health sector that hasn’t really been leveraged,” Mr Hartzer said.
