Ambience Healthcare, the leading AI platform transforming clinical documentation and revenue integrity, announced the appointment of Mike Valli as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) and Chief Value Officer (CVO). In this dual role, Valli will lead Ambience’s global go-to-market initiatives while also owning the company’s enterprise value framework—ensuring customers realize measurable, durable clinical and financial outcomes from Ambience’s AI platform.
This appointment marks a strategic milestone for Ambience as the company accelerates its expansion across large health systems, academic medical centers, and enterprise provider groups.
“Ambience is redefining how clinicians work and how health systems operate,” said Valli. “This is one of the most important inflection points in healthcare—where AI moves from experimentation to mission-critical infrastructure. Ambience is uniquely positioned to lead that transformation.”
As health systems face unprecedented pressure—burnout, labor shortages, shrinking margins, and rising regulatory complexity—Ambience is becoming a strategic platform for:
- Clinician experience – reducing documentation burden and restoring time to care
- Operational efficiency – automating workflows that previously required manual abstraction
- Revenue integrity – improving documentation quality, coding accuracy, and reimbursement outcomes

Ultimately, this aligns Ambience’s partnership model with creating measurable improvements to health system operating margin.
“Healthcare AI will only scale if it creates real, system-level change,” said Nikhil Buduma, CEO and Co-Founder of Ambience. “Mike understands that value is not theoretical—it must be operational, financial, and clinical at the same time. His ability to bridge strategy, execution, and outcomes is rare, and he is exactly the leader we need as Ambience enters its next phase of growth.”
