Work

What Ragy Emile Works On

Two roles, one discipline: running and advising security programs for regulated life sciences companies in Greater Boston, Massachusetts.

Head of Information Technology

Vizgen

Ragy Emile leads Information Technology at Vizgen, a spatial genomics company headquartered in Greater Boston. He is responsible for technology strategy, the company's security program, and vendor risk management, and he manages the IT team that supports a scientific, commercial, and manufacturing workforce.

The work includes identity and access management in Entra ID, endpoint management and compliance in Intune, threat protection in Defender, data governance in Purview, and the policies and evidence that let the company answer security questionnaires from pharmaceutical partners, investors, and auditors with confidence. He led the technology and security integration when Ultivue merged into Vizgen in 2024.
