I’m proud to welcome Sanjay and Han to Oura. Their experience will help us scale the systems, software, and AI capabilities to grow responsibly while delivering on our mission to help people live longer, healthier lives.”\n\n**Scaling Oura’s strong foundation**\n\nThese appointments reflect an important moment for Oura. As the company continues its evolution from a wearable company into a longitudinal health platform, it is investing in the leadership and infrastructure required to support that ambition, not only through continued innovation, but through privacy, security, responsible AI, interoperability, and enterprise-grade systems.\n\nOura’s growth is creating new opportunities to help people understand and improve their health, and a greater responsibility to protect the data and trust at the center of that experience. Data is the foundation of AI at Oura, and the company’s governance practices are scaling alongside its product ambitions.\n\n**Sanjay Chandra: Scaling systems, security, and trust**\n\nAs Oura’s first Chief Information Officer, Sanjay will oversee the enterprise technology foundation required for a health technology platform. His remit includes enterprise AI technology strategy, business-systems transformation, and the systems, infrastructure, and governance needed to help Oura scale responsibly.\n\nSanjay most recently served as Vice President and Global Head of Information Technology at Lucid Motors, where he oversaw go-to-market technologies, enterprise systems, factory systems technologies, global infrastructure, data, and cybersecurity. Before Lucid, he was Chief Information Officer and Head of Cloud Operations at TiVo (acquired by Xperi), responsible for customer success, cloud operations, infrastructure, eCommerce, and corporate IT. Earlier in his career, he held technology leadership roles at Workday and PayPal.\n\nAcross these roles, Sanjay has helped fast-growing companies scale their technology organizations, operating models, and governance to match their ambitions. At Oura, he will focus on ensuring the company’s platform and continued evolution of AI is built on a foundation of security, consent, privacy, and trust.\n\n“Technology should be invisible when it works well, but it shapes every part of the customer experience,” said Sanjay Chandra, chief information officer at Oura. “In health technology, it must also earn confidence at every step. Oura has an extraordinary opportunity to define what a trusted, AI-enabled health platform can be. I’m excited to help scale the secure, resilient systems and governance that allow Oura to scale responsibly and deliver on its mission for millions of members.”\n\n**Han Chiu: Advancing software and AI at Oura**\n\nAs Senior Vice President of AI and Software Engineering, Han will lead Oura’s global software engineering organization across mobile, backend, platform, and AI engineering, while owning the company’s software and AI strategy.\n\nHan joins Oura from Click Therapeutics, where he served as Chief Technology Officer and led engineering, data, platform, product, and design for FDA-regulated, prescription digital therapeutics operating under HIPAA. During his tenure, Click advanced its AI transformation and delivered FDA-cleared digital treatments validated through randomized controlled trials. Before Click, Han spent two decades leading engineering organizations at American Express, Shutterstock, Namely, and WeWork.\n\nHan’s experience spans health and consumer technology, as well as the organizational and technical changes required to become more AI-native. At Oura, he will help strengthen engineering execution, evolve how the company architects and scales its platforms, and use AI not only to improve how products are built, but to expand what Oura can create for its members.\n\n“AI is expanding both what we can create and how quickly we can bring it to members,” said Han Chiu, senior vice president of AI and SWE at Oura. “The opportunity at Oura is to pair that pace with the rigor required to build technology people can trust with their health. Oura has assembled a world-class team and a strong foundation; I’m excited to help turn its ambition into products and experiences that make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.”\n\n**Investing in the infrastructure that trust requires**\n\nHealthcare is an infrastructure business. As Oura expands across products, channels, geographies, and partnerships, the systems behind the member experience must be reliable, secure, interoperable, and built to support the standards of a health technology platform.\n\nThat means treating privacy and security as product foundations, evolving governance that enables innovation rather than slows it down, and ensuring that Oura’s software, data, and AI capabilities can scale in a way that remains worthy of the trust members place in the company.\n\nSanjay and Han’s appointments are part of Oura’s broader investment in the leadership required for its next chapter. The company is building not only for continued consumer adoption, but for long-term credibility with members, providers, partners, and institutions.\n\nThe ambition is simple: to create technology that helps more people live longer, healthier lives, and to scale the systems and safeguards that make that future possible.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/oura-welcomes-sanjay-chandra-as-chief-information-officer-and-han-chiu-as-svp-of", "canonical_source": "https://ouraring.wpengine.com/oura-welcomes-sanjay-chandra-and-han-chiu/", "published_at": "2026-08-20 13:00:03+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-20 13:43:15.346380+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-products", "ai-infrastructure", "ai-policy"], "entities": ["Oura", "Sanjay Chandra", "Han Chiu", "Tom Hale", "Sean Brecker", "Michael Chapp", "Lucid Motors", "Click Therapeutics"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/oura-welcomes-sanjay-chandra-as-chief-information-officer-and-han-chiu-as-svp-of", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/oura-welcomes-sanjay-chandra-as-chief-information-officer-and-han-chiu-as-svp-of.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/oura-welcomes-sanjay-chandra-as-chief-information-officer-and-han-chiu-as-svp-of.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/oura-welcomes-sanjay-chandra-as-chief-information-officer-and-han-chiu-as-svp-of.jsonld"}}
