The thesis

Portfolio company performance depends on speed-to-talent.

Healthcare private equity investments run on a strict timeline. To hit your investment thesis, you need executive leaders who can execute a buy-and-build strategy, integrate acquisitions, optimize billing/RCM, and manage labor costs—all while maintaining clinical quality and regulatory compliance. An open CEO, CFO, or Regional VP seat at a portfolio company costs thousands in lost momentum every week.

We locate executive leaders with PE portfolio experience. We do not float resumes; we qualify the investment thesis, map the industry footprint, and run deep qualitative screens on candidates' historical EBITDA growth, deal integration, and turnaround outcomes. Our engaged model ensures we have the dedicated time to recruit passive leaders who are successfully running operations elsewhere.

We serve mid-market private equity sponsors, growth equity funds, family offices, and venture capital firms investing across post-acute care, home health, hospice, behavioral health, and dental/medical group practices.

FAQ

Healthcare Private Equity,
specifically.

The questions hiring operators send in the first call.

What types of PE firms do you work with?
We work with lower-middle-market and middle-market private equity sponsors, growth equity funds, and family offices investing in post-acute care, behavioral health, home health, hospice, and outpatient therapy platforms.
How do you screen executive candidates for PE portfolio companies?
We screen them on three criteria: (1) equity-thesis alignment—their understanding of leverage, cash flow, and EBITDA-driven growth, (2) integration experience—their track record of merging operations and systems post-acquisition, and (3) clinical-regulatory safety—their history of maintaining compliance under heavy growth pressure.
Do you support pre-acquisition talent diligence?
Yes. Under our engaged search model, we partner with sponsors during exclusivity to map the local market talent pool and identify potential post-close management candidates, ensuring you can hit the ground running upon closing.
What is your placement guarantee for PE C-level hires?
Because we stand behind our search process, our portfolio C-level placements (CEO, CFO, COO) carry an extended 365-day replacement guarantee. If a candidate leaves or is terminated within the first year, we run the replacement search at no additional cost.
