01 , Manifesto
We don't fill seats. We assemble the operating systems behind companies that change healthcare.
Every brief we accept is a long-term commitment to the founders, boards and investors building the future of healthcare. We work on a small number of mandates at any one time , chosen for fit, for stakes, and for the calibre of people who already sit at the table.
02 , Practice areas
Three sectors. One discipline.
We focus narrowly so we can move quickly. Our consultants have lived inside the industries they recruit into , as operators, investors and clinicians.

↗04 , Principles
How we work, in four lines.
- 01
Partner-led, always
Tim personally runs every mandate from brief to integration. No handoffs, no juniors fronting the work.
- 02
Sector-deep, not generalist
We only work inside MedTech, Digital Health and Clinical AI, so our talent map is sharper than any database.
- 03
Retained, exclusive, accountable
Six mandates at a time, maximum. Weekly transparency on pipeline. A 12-month replacement guarantee on every placement.
- 04
Built for the long arc
We measure ourselves on five-year tenure, not on close. The leaders we place are still in seat when the next round closes.
