About Ali R.
Ali R. is CTO at STERIS. Location: Mentor, Ohio, United States.
Enterprise technology and cybersecurity executive leading IT for a global $6Bmedical device company, with responsibility of 300+associates and a $75M+ operating and capital portfolio in one of the world's most regulated industries. I am accountable for enterprise cybersecurity strategy, risk posture, and resilience — reporting to the Board of Directors on a consistent basis on cyber risk, program maturity, and investment priorities. I lead a digital workplace organization that arms our associates with best-in-class endpoint technologies, and I drive enterprise AI adoption — including a company-wide Microsoft 365 Copilot deployment — to digitize the employee experience and raise how the business works every day. My track record spans the full enterprise mandate: global business-system transformations across ERP, CRM, and MRP delivered from strategy through adoption; infrastructure modernization across on-premise and cloud data centers; and disaster recovery and business continuity programs engineered for regulated, always-on operations where uptime, compliance, and quality are non-negotiable. What I am known for is translating technology and risk into business language for executive and board audiences, building high-performing global teams, and establishing consensus across functions, cultures, and every level of an organization — turning technology investment into measurable business outcomes.
