Executive Summary

Michael Zamagias is Chairman and Co-CEO of TeleTracking Technologies, and its owner. TeleTracking, founded in Pittsburgh in 1991, makes the software hospitals use to see and manage their capacity in real time: which beds are clean, occupied or awaiting turnover, where patients and transporters are, and how patients move from admission to discharge. Zamagias has run the company as chairman and chief executive since at least 2012, when TeleTracking described him as a Pittsburgh entrepreneur and majority owner with interests spanning healthcare technology, commercial real estate, banking and finance, and energy. He now shares the chief executive role with Co-CEO Chris Johnson.

Professional Journey

TeleTracking began in Pittsburgh in 1991, and its first product set the pattern for everything that followed: BedTracking, software designed to cut delays in turning over hospital beds. Over the following decades the company added transport dispatching, pre-admission tracking and electronic bedboards, mobile tools for environmental services staff, real-time locating systems for tracking assets, patients and staff, and analytics and reporting. It expanded into the United Kingdom and pioneered the command-center model, in which a health system runs patient flow across its hospitals from a central operations hub.

By August 2012, Zamagias was TeleTracking’s Chairman and CEO. That month he named Michael Gallup, previously head of the company’s real-time locating systems division, as President and COO with responsibility for all operating units, and formally confirmed that he would continue as chief executive. The announcement described him as a Pittsburgh entrepreneur and majority owner of TeleTracking who had built a network of businesses in healthcare technology, commercial real estate development, banking and finance, and energy development.

TeleTracking has since moved from point solutions toward what it calls a healthcare operations platform. Zamagias now serves as Chairman and Co-CEO alongside Co-CEO Chris Johnson. The company has built out its senior team beneath them, naming Anita Dressel President after six years as CFO and COO, and appointing healthcare investment banker Derek Ritchea as Chief Strategy Officer in January 2026. Announcing that appointment, the company said it was expanding into new healthcare operations domains with an AI-enabled operations platform built on 35 years of industry experience. Ritchea said he had worked with Zamagias and Johnson over several years before joining.
