I look forward to supporting the university’s mission to apply technology in ways that improve lives and strengthen communities.” 

Before joining Tempus, Ozeran held product and technology leadership roles across media, enterprise mobility, human capital technology, and digital health. He was part of the founding engineering and product team at Yello, helping scale the platform through multiple funding rounds, and previously served in leadership roles at Tribune Interactive, Lextech, and Zest Health, a 7wire Ventures and Lightbank-backed startup later acquired by Virgin Pulse.

“Our entire Illinois Tech community is honored to welcome Jonathan Ozeran to the Board of Trustees,” said Illinois Tech President Raj Echambadi. “Jonathan’s leadership at the forefront of artificial intelligence and his commitment to responsible innovation embody the values that drive Illinois Tech’s mission. His work translating technology into tools that improve human health will inspire our students and faculty alike.”
