A Proven CEO to Unify a Multi-Brand Healthcare Staffing Platform
A national healthcare staffing platform backed by two investment firms engaged us to identify a new Chief Executive Officer. With over $3.36 billion in revenue and a rapidly growing national footprint, the company had expanded through acquisition and innovation to become one of the top providers in its sector. Facing shifting market dynamics and growing operational complexity, the business required a new leader to strengthen alignment, sharpen strategy, and drive execution across a multi-brand platform.
The Challenge
Following several years of aggressive growth, the company’s leadership structure no longer matched its evolving scale. The outgoing CEO had maintained a founder-era mindset during a period of contraction and continued to invest heavily without clear performance return. With mounting integration challenges and revenue pressures, the board initiated a confidential search to identify a new leader who could stabilize the business and prepare it for future growth.
Search Strategy
We focused on identifying executives with a strong track record of scaling complex organizations and aligning operations across decentralized platforms.
Key criteria included:
Full P&L ownership of $1B+ businesses
Experience integrating acquisitions and leading transformation efforts
Strong operational discipline in multi-brand or matrixed environment
Prior exposure to private equity governance and investor engagement
Deep expertise in staffing or adjacent human capital services sectors
The Candidate
The selected candidate brought more than two decades of executive experience across staffing and workforce solutions. She had held senior leadership roles in both public and private environments and built a reputation for leading complex organizations through transformation. Her background included full P&L oversight, multi-brand operations, and a hands-on leadership style rooted in team development and operational rigor. Her strategic orientation and executional strength made her a clear match for the company's next chapter.
Throughout the process, we maintained complete confidentiality, balancing sponsor expectations, managing finalist engagement, and ensuring alignment without disrupting business continuity.
The Outcome
The candidate began as CEO in February 2024. Since stepping into the role, she has introduced greater operating discipline, aligned the leadership team around common KPIs, and worked to streamline execution across brands. Her leadership has brought renewed focus, improved cross-functional cohesion, and set the organization on a more deliberate path toward long-term value creation.
