While technology has changed considerably over the past quarter century, Elijah’s goal of tapping the power of information to help others has not. Over more than 25 years managing enterprise systems, he has provided expert leadership to information technology teams. At 2Life Communities, Elijah applied his expertise to help meet the challenge of the pandemic, including a mobile device lending library and telehealth carts and a mobile app to enable staff to track COVID test results and vaccination information.


“I am defiant and steadfast about making information easily accessible, while adapting to the constant evolution of technology.”
 

Prior to joining 2Life communities Elijah has worked in the private sector for software companies as well as a consultant for the Federal Government. Elijah supported the archiving of information stored in the presidential library while working at the White House. In over a decade working at the non-profit Facing History and Ourselves, Elijah oversaw the integration between the public website and the corporate CRM (Salesforce) to help give Educators a personalized experience for accessing teaching resources. Elijah has specialized in creating collaborative knowledge management platforms which reduce data entry and increase staff productivity. While technology has been constantly changing over the past 25 years, Elijah’s goal for making information easily accessible and secure has not. Elijah lives West of Boston with his partner Miriam and three school age children, along with their Aruban rescue dog Albert.
