Marv Pierre-Jean, MS, MBA, PMP, PMI-ACP, is an IT Project Manager at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center with more than 12 years of experience leading enterprise technology and healthcare initiatives.
His work centers on driving cross-functional collaboration, delivering complex projects, and advancing digital transformation in environments where the stakes are high and the outcomes directly shape patient care. For Pierre-Jean, the work is not only about systems and infrastructure. It is about how those systems ultimately serve people.
The Journey
Pierre-Jean’s path into healthcare was shaped by a long-standing interest in information technology and a desire to build a career that felt meaningful.
As he explored opportunities, he found himself drawn to the intersection of healthcare and IT, where technical skill could translate into real-world impact.
"That connection showed me that I could use my technical skills to make a real impact."
That realization grounded his direction. It shifted his focus from building systems for efficiency alone to building systems that improve outcomes and experiences for the people who rely on them.

For Pierre-Jean, this recognition reflects the full scope of his work.
It acknowledges not only his role in healthcare IT and project management, but also the work he does beyond his formal responsibilities. Through mentorship, community engagement, and advocacy, he is committed to expanding access and creating opportunities for others entering the field.
He sees the recognition as both affirmation and responsibility. It reflects what has been built so far and reinforces the importance of continuing to invest in others.
What’s Next
Pierre-Jean is focused on continuing to lead high-impact technology initiatives that improve patient care and operational efficiency.
At the same time, he is expanding his mentorship efforts, with a particular focus on creating pathways for young Black men interested in careers in public health and healthcare.
Looking ahead, his work remains centered at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and leadership, with an emphasis on scale, access, and long-term impact.
"Stay adaptable and never stop learning. Healthcare is constantly evolving..."
Pierre-Jean’s work reflects a shift in how healthcare is built. Technology is not separate from care. It is a core part of how care is delivered, experienced, and improved.
