Leadership
Chapter Chair
Bob Owens
Bob Owens, PharmD, MS, MBA, serves as Director of Pharmacy Data Analytics, Systems & Innovation at Advocate Health, where he leads teams working at the intersection of pharmacy operations, data engineering, and emerging technology. A pharmacist by training and an engineer by passion, Bob brings a rare dual perspective to medication use analytics. He is equally at home in clinical workflows and in code. His experience spans operational acute care leadership, 340B program analytics and management, drug data pipelines, creating comprehensive pharmacy data architectures, implementing data governance, and applying AI to pharmacy’s toughest data challenges. Bob is leading the relaunch of this SIG with a simple goal: to build the community of peers he wished he’d had earlier in his career, one that speaks both pharmacy and data.
