In 2001 Bill Sciortino joined Vi as Chief Information Officer and enhanced the organization’s network infrastructure and security while leading the design and implementation of systems for billing, job cost, clinical operations, facilities management, and financial reporting. In 2003, Bill was promoted to Senior Vice President of Operations to oversee the corporate operations team and community functions such as food and beverage, lifestyles, resident care, housekeeping and facilities maintenance. His Chicago based team leads the development and execution of our capital spending program including equipment replacement, building and grounds enhancements, and interior refurbishments to drive resident satisfaction and define Vi’s market reputation. In 2012, Bill’s role expanded to include oversight of Vi’s sales, marketing, and market research departments who work together to raise awareness of the company’s unique offering and bring residents to the existing communities while exploring expansion opportunities for the industry’s top brand. A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Bill graduated magna cum laude from Hiram College with a degree in Business Management. His career started in paper sales and sales management before moving to the construction industry where he focused on cost accounting and estimating systems as general manager of a commercial contractor. Next he opened his own firm helping other builders with strategy and software installations which led him to Chicago and a consulting position with Ernst & Young’s real estate IT practice. A return to the construction industry as CIO for a multi-state contractor was his last stop before assuming the role at Vi. Bill connects with the larger senior living industry through his work with the American Seniors Housing Association (ASHA) and, more recently, Argentum.
