Ronell Wilder

I’m Ronell Wilder, founder and CEO of Nexsys LLC, where I’m building Vilora — a veteran-owned healthcare interoperability platform that connects fragmented medical records across the VA, community care, military health, and commercial systems.

My first lesson in the Air Force was that “I don’t know” is never an acceptable answer. As an 18-year-old logistics planner, I learned that mission success meant replacing “no” with “yes, if” — that with the right preparation, mindset, and team, even the hardest requirements could be met. Thirteen years of service turned that lesson into a career built on solving complex problems under pressure.

I grew up in the Mississippi Delta, raised by two teachers who instilled integrity and accountability early. The Air Force deepened those values through its creed: “Integrity first, Service before self, Excellence in all we do.” I’ve served as a logistics planner, a Department of Defense contractor in Kuwait, and now as a Systems Analyst and Network Engineer in Hawaii.

I hold a bachelor’s in Logistics & Supply Chain Management and a second in Computer Science, along with Security+, Azure AZ-104, and CCNA certifications, and I’m pursuing a Master’s in Analytics at LSU. I’ve also served as a board member of Man United Inc., mentoring more than 60 young men in the Delta. For me, Vilora is the next expression of a lifelong commitment to service.
