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.

If you're building the next chapter of healthcare, we should talk.
