Leadership & Staff

Elena has led ASHDS since 2019, growing membership by more than 60 percent and launching the Society's first international chapters. She came from a decade of association management in scientific societies and believes member organizations succeed by being genuinely useful, not merely visible.

Samuel oversees the Society's research agenda, scientific publications, and the annual State of Health Data Science report. A former academic biostatistician, he is the person who makes sure the Society's claims are ones the evidence can support.

Karen runs the CAHDS, CHDS, and FHDS credentialing programs and chairs the exam development committee. She has spent her career thinking about how to measure competence fairly, and treats every exam question as something a real candidate's career depends on.

Nadia has edited JHDS since 2022 and has guided the journal to its first impact factor and a doubling of annual submissions. She is a physician-scientist who reviews every accepted manuscript herself and insists that a paper a clinician cannot understand has not finished its job.

Anthony leads member recruitment, retention, and the Society's special interest groups and student chapters. He is the first call for any member with a problem and the reason the renewal rate sits above 90 percent.

Lillian designs the Society's continuing education, webinars, and Annual Symposium program. A former clinical educator, she builds learning that working professionals can actually fit into a real week.
