Eron Kelly

Current Position

Title: Chief Executive Officer Company: ConcertAI Location: Annapolis, Maryland

Professional Background

Eron Kelly brings over 20 years of enterprise technology leadership experience across cloud infrastructure, healthcare software, and artificial intelligence. His career has been defined by scaling mission-critical products at some of the world's largest technology companies (Microsoft, Amazon Web Services) and driving transformational business outcomes in the healthcare sector. Kelly's technical foundation in electrical engineering combined with his business acumen from Harvard Business School positions him uniquely to lead ConcertAI's evolution as an agentic AI and real-world data company in oncology.

Kelly joined ConcertAI in May 2025 as CEO, succeeding Dr. Jeff Elton who transitioned to Vice Chairman. He came to ConcertAI from Inovalon, where he served as President since June 2021 and led the company's transformation into a pure-play cloud-based SaaS and DaaS (Data-as-a-Service) provider while integrating AI capabilities across business units and achieving double-digit growth. Prior to Inovalon, Kelly spent more than 20 years at Microsoft and Amazon Web Services, where he held senior product and sales leadership roles managing portfolios of enterprise cloud services.

His most significant impact in enterprise technology came at Microsoft, where he led the product management team that created Office 365—taking the business case from conception through product launch and subsequent market dominance. This achievement established his reputation as a leader who can envision new business models and drive cross-functional execution at scale.

Recurring themes: Transformation through technology; customer-centric product development; building ecosystems and partnerships; responsible AI deployment; connecting data intelligently across healthcare systems; speed balanced with rigor and trust.

Kelly's communication style reflects a blend of engineering pragmatism and business acumen. In his recent LinkedIn article "Acting with Clarity," he articulates a leadership philosophy centered on "judgment—moving fast without sacrificing rigor, privacy, or trust." His writing combines concrete metrics and customer wins with aspirational language about industry-wide impact. This duality—celebrating achieved growth while visioning future transformation—appears consistently across his public statements. He tends toward collaborative framing when discussing partnerships and ecosystem building, positioning ConcertAI as a hub connecting life sciences, healthcare providers, and technology innovation. His recent pivoting to oncology AI and agentic technologies suggests comfort with emerging domains and willingness to explain complex concepts (like agentic AI) in business-value terms for non-specialist audiences.
