Damian Hiser has been in healthcare for 20 years, beginning his career in Australia as an Optometrist. He joined UME in 2009 to lead the growth of the healthcare management business in the Middle East.
Damian has managed healthcare services in the private sector in Australia for the last 15 years, working in senior roles with a range of providers including large publicly listed companies such as Affinity Health and Invocare, through to not-for profit charitable hospital groups, the most recent being CEO of a network of 4 hospitals in the state of Tasmania.
