Based in Melbourne, Swann will lead Hyland’s healthcare team in the APAC region. He will implement growth strategies to expand the company’s healthcare footprint.

Swann will report to Hyland international healthcare associate vice president Mark Groesch.

Prior to joining Hyland, Swann has spent the past eight years in commercial leadership roles, most recently as Gartner vice president of large enterprise sales.

“Lachie’s international experience in developing markets and launching new products makes him an ideal leader to build on the strong foundations Hyland has in the Asia Pacific region. As a company we are continuing to invest in the region and looking to extend the success we have achieved with our healthcare solutions,” said Groesch on the appointment.

“I’m thrilled to make the transition from technology research and consulting into the vendor landscape,” Swann said.

“In healthcare, we’ve seen significant changes through the pandemic that are reshaping priorities. Remote care requirements have led to an acceleration in the volume of unstructured data and a proliferation of data capture devices. With more than 75% of patient data unstructured - and that figure is growing by more than 50% annually - clinicians want a more complete view of the patient, with better context between images and patient data,” he added.

“Hyland’s content services and enterprise medical imaging solutions are well placed to empower Healthcare institutions to better connect with these evolving needs.”
