Guillermo Viveros Named CEO of Gardner Health Services

Viveros brings over two decades of experience in corporate finance and operations to the role. His transition follows a long-standing relationship with the organization, including a six-year tenure on the board of directors from 2017 to 2023. Board Chair William G. Roth cited Viveros’s financial discipline and operational insight as critical assets for navigating the shifting landscape of healthcare policy and legislation.

Before transitioning to community health, Viveros held senior executive positions at several major technology firms, including Freshworks, Infoblox, TiVo, and an 11-year stint at Juniper Networks. He holds an MBA from the UCLA Anderson School of Management and a mechanical engineering degree from California Polytechnic State University. Viveros now leads a health system with a 59-year history, originally founded to serve farm and cannery workers in the Alviso and Gardner neighborhoods of San Jose.
