Notable names Dr. Nicholas Desai as Chief Medical Officer to drive enterprise AI impact

Former health system executive brings enterprise technology and operating leadership to help health systems build a new System of Work

SAN MATEO, Calif., Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Notable, the leading healthcare AI Platform for transforming workforce productivity, today announced the appointment of Dr. Nicholas Desai as Chief Medical Officer. Desai joins from Houston Methodist, where his leadership spanned system-wide clinical technology and hospital operations, including roles as system Chief Medical Information Officer and hospital Chief Operating Officer, Chief Medical Officer, and Chief Quality Officer. Most recently, he helped lead the development, opening, and growth of Houston Methodist Cypress Hospital, bringing culture, clinical operations, and technology together from the outset.

Desai brings more than two decades of experience connecting enterprise technology with clinical practice and organizational change, with accountability for technology, people, growth, quality, and financial performance. His appointment strengthens Notable's focus on helping health systems translate AI capabilities into operating results: greater capacity, faster access to care, less administrative work, and better use of existing resources.

"More AI does not automatically mean more capacity or better margins," said Pranay Kapadia, CEO and co-founder of Notable. "Those gains require changing how work gets done. Nick has led clinical technology across a health system and taken direct responsibility for hospital operations. He understands what has to change, what cannot be compromised, and what it takes to bring an organization through that kind of transformation."

That experience directly supports Notable's vision for a System of Work: AI Agents and people working together across existing systems to carry work from request to completion. The goal is to help health systems expand what their teams can accomplish without increasing the administrative burden on staff or patients.

At Notable, Desai will partner with health system executives to identify high-value opportunities, align clinical and operational teams, and translate those priorities into workflows that can be deployed, adopted, and measured. His focus will span patient access, care operations, and workforce productivity, with an emphasis on making change practical within customers' existing infrastructure, staffing, and budgets. He will also help ensure those operating priorities shape Notable's platform development and delivery.

"The measure of AI will not be intelligence. It will be impact," said Desai. "For a health system, that means whether patients get care sooner, whether teams have more capacity, and whether work gets completed reliably. Having led both enterprise technology and hospital operations, I know deployment is only the beginning. Joining Notable gives me the opportunity to help more organizations turn what technology makes possible into how they operate every day."
