Stefanie Kenny is the Director of the Business Operations and Systems Support Division at the Boulder County Department of Housing and Human Services. The HHS department is building a healthy, connected community that empowers people and strengthens families by confronting the root causes of crisis and instability. Boulder County HHS is taking a lead role in the area of Interoperability, focusing on connecting human services providers across the community through an integrated service delivery model, care coordination, and population-level data integration and planning. A critical component of these efforts is the Boulder Connect Software platform, a case management and closed loop referral system that directly connects community based organizations, HHS and other county departments and clients through real-time data exchange.

In her role at HHS, Stefanie has been helping to manage, develop, and architect the creation of the Connect platform from the beginning. She is currently leading a multi-partner, multi-year effort to expand the Connect platform to include additional counties in Colorado and to integrate with the HIE hosted by CORHIO in order to enable close-loop referrals between health providers and human services providers. Stefanie is a seasoned software engineering manager with an extensive computer science background and a talent for building teams dedicated to providing the best in human services. She has managed large and small development teams worldwide, spread across the public, private and non-profit sectors. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and a Master of Science in Food Policy. Stefanie is passionate about using technology and data to help build a community in which all members thrive and live as equals.
