Raj Chock: Raj Chock is one of the most exceptional IT leaders and program partners I have worked with across my career. With over two decades of experience, Raj consistently delivers impact across Digital Transformation, AI implementation, IT Service Management, and enterprise Program Management. Moreover, he brings a rare ability to align strategy, execution, and people in fast-paced, high-stakes environments.
Throughout his career, Raj has focused on stakeholder engagement and portfolio leadership, while simultaneously fostering collaboration and innovation. As a result, enterprise priorities remain aligned even amid constant change. In addition, his work shaping and scaling AI and automation strategies has unlocked measurable productivity gains, cost savings, and operational efficiency—without sacrificing governance or trust.
I enjoyed collaborating with Dawn Simmons (Khan) in the SPARC Portal business transformation program at Gilead Sciences. She was an excellent technical program manager and business partner who collaborates across business complexity and ensured that Gilead present and future, strategic business objectives are met.
Dawns technical program management oversaw design and solution architecture functions while maintaining partner rapport in a fast-paced dynamic enterprise environment. I wish her the best in her current and future endeavors.

An Exceptional Program and Portfolio Leader
What truly sets Raj apart, however, is his uncanny program leadership capability. He navigates complexity with clarity. He builds unity where others see fragmentation. Consequently, large programs move forward with purpose, transparency, and momentum.
I worked closely with Raj at Gilead Sciences, where I learned firsthand the power of unified program management, Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) execution, and healthcare service success models applied at enterprise scale. Under Raj’s leadership, programs did not simply deliver milestones—they delivered confidence, alignment, and sustainable outcomes.
Simply put, Raj is one of the greatest partners in program and project leadership I have known.
Industry Leadership and Board Service
Beyond enterprise delivery, Raj also gives back to the profession. He served on the Board of Directors for the Silicon Valley IT Service Management Forum, where he helped advance modern ITSM thinking, leadership development, and community collaboration across the region.
This combination of hands-on execution, strategic vision, and industry stewardship makes Raj a trusted advisor and a respected leader.
Why Working with Raj Stands Out
To know Raj—and to work with him—is an exceptional experience. He leads with integrity. He listens before acting. He unites teams around shared outcomes. Most importantly, he raises the standard for what strong program leadership should look like in modern IT and digital healthcare environments.
I recommend Raj without hesitation to any organization seeking AI-driven transformation, scaled agile delivery, and enterprise program excellence.
