Health, Tech & Innovation

Built from the inside, built for execution. Not resume volume.

Before moving into executive search, I spent nearly 15 years operating inside large tech orgs, payers, and venture-backed health tech companies, including LexisNexis, Comcast, Cigna, Optum, and HealthTap, carrying real revenue and growth responsibility. I held the roles I now recruit for, and built the teams around me to execute on them.

I’ve been the client building a team, the candidate being placed, and now the consultant running the search. That range is what shapes the way I work.

I run a deliberately small, high-trust practice, taking on a limited number of mandates at a time. I serve venture-backed companies from seed through Series D, and PE-backed companies more broadly. Healthcare and health tech are the anchor. Technology and innovation are the range.

Search & Talent Services

Retained Search

Senior leadership searches, run end to end and calibrated to each client’s timeline, budget, and market realities.

Talent Advisory

Compensation benchmarking, role architecture, talent planning and hiring roadmaps, and market intelligence, for clients who need that groundwork done well before or alongside a search.

Fractional

Fractional and interim executive placements, plus fractional talent leadership for clients who need embedded recruiting expertise without a full-time hire.

Contract

Contract and contract-to-hire placements, plus project-based engagements for clients who need dedicated search support without a retained relationship.

How This Practice Works

01

Calibrate the mandate.

Scope, success metrics, and compensation are aligned to current market realities before a search begins.

02

Leverage insider access.

Outreach goes directly to senior operators, through a network built from years working inside the environments I now recruit for.

03

Assess for execution.

Every candidate is evaluated on commercial judgment and the ability to lead inside complex, fast-moving, often regulated organizations.

04

Close with discipline.

Negotiation stays market-realistic. Long-term alignment is the goal, not a fast placement.

Search details are shared selectively and always with client consent. Client identities stay confidential unless a client has agreed otherwise. This discretion is how the practice earns trust.
