Leadership at VisibilitIQ

Architects of Intelligent Visibility

At VisibilitIQ Corporation, leadership means more than overseeing operations — it means shaping the future of how professionals see, decide, and lead. Our executive team brings together decades of experience spanning imaging intelligence, enterprise systems, AI development, clinical innovation, and international strategy.

We don’t just talk about transformation — we build it.

🧑‍💼 Jeffrey Retherford
Founder & Chief Executive Officer

A pioneer in imaging strategy and systems architecture, Jeffrey founded VisibilitIQ with a singular goal: to transform imaging into a decision intelligence platform. With over 30 years of experience leading financial, operational, and systems integration efforts across the public and private sectors, he brings a rare blend of executive vision and technical discipline.

Jeffrey’s career spans roles as CFO, Manufacturing Controller, and ERP implementation lead (Oracle, NetSuite, Epicor). He is currently completing a Doctor of Business Administration (DBA), focusing on AI’s strategic impact on finance and enterprise systems.

“True visibility is more than seeing — it’s knowing what to act on, when, and why.”

👩‍💻 Maria Chen
Chief Technology Officer

Maria leads the technological engine behind VisibilitIQ, directing the design of the OratosIQ platform — including its AI-enhanced imaging tools, cloud-native infrastructure, and system-level integrations. A biomedical engineer by training with a Ph.D. in AI-driven diagnostics, Maria has held leadership roles at GE Healthcare and scaled platforms for FDA-regulated devices and global interoperability.

Her work ensures VisibilitIQ’s platform doesn’t just meet expectations — it defines new ones.
