Benjamin Cushing Promoted to Red Hat Chief Architect for Federal Health Business

Benjamin Cushing, former director of the federal health business at Red Hat, has assumed a new role as chief architect for the same unit, FedHealthIT reported Tuesday.

He served as chief technology officer at behavioral health information technology company MDLogix before his appointment at Red Hat three years ago. The software provider became part of IBM (NYSE: IBM) in a $34 billion acquisition deal that closed in July 2019.

Cushing worked as a technical architect and senior manager at Accenture, which he joined upon the company’s March 2015 purchase of Agilex Technologies.

His two-decade career has also included six years as an application engineer for the National Institutes of Health, according to his LinkedIn account.
