Udit K Kerney

Principal Consultant at Straven & Co

Toronto, Canada

I work with healthcare and regulated organizations on AI decisions where the stakes are high and the margin for error is small.

My focus is the gap between technical success and real-world adoption. AI systems that perform well in controlled environments often fail when they meet clinical workflows, frontline staff, and operational reality. I help organizations close that gap before it becomes expensive.

I have led AI engagements across healthcare organizations, healthcare platforms, pharmaceutical clinical trials, and dental clinic operations in Canada, the United Kingdom, and Europe.

I am Principal Consultant at Straven & Co.

I hold three master's degrees from Imperial College London, the University of Bath, and the University of Hertfordshire in global health management, engineering business management, and artificial intelligence. I also hold a bachelor's degree in computer engineering from Western University.

Based in Canada. Engaged globally.
