George Alex joins Reliance Foundation Hospital as chief growth officer

MUMBAI: Reliance Foundation Hospital has appointed George Alex as chief growth officer, tapping a seasoned healthcare and consumer-sector operator as it sharpens its ambition to scale a world-class, patient-centric hospital network across India.

Alex joins the Reliance Group-backed hospital chain with over two decades of experience spanning healthcare, telecom and FMCG. In his new role, he will lead strategic growth and pan-India expansion across new markets and hospitals, with a focus on quaternary and tertiary care, clinical excellence, advanced technology and scalable operations.

Before this move, Alex was regional COO for Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh at Healthcare Global, where he oversaw operations and growth across key cancer-care markets. Earlier, he spent more than seven years at Jaslok Hospital and Research Centre, serving as COO and chief marketing officer, and played senior sales and marketing roles at Fortis Healthcare. His earlier career included leadership stints at Bharti Airtel, Videocon d2h, Etisalat DB Telecom and Hindustan Unilever.

At Reliance Foundation Hospital, the mandate is clear: growth with purpose. As India’s healthcare sector braces for consolidation, technology-led care and rising patient expectations, Alex’s brief is to turn scale into trust — and ambition into impact.
