Case Studies

Compass Executives were appointed to source an interim Chief Financial Officer – originally on an interim basis which later developed into a permanent mandate – for Octopus Healthcare owned One Healthcare.

The successfully appointed CFO would be responsible for ensuring strong financial foundations from which a growth strategy could be realised, requiring a candidate with a proven background in the Private Acute industry who could demonstrate the ability to be hands-on, combined with strong exposure to private equity backed healthcare environments.

Off the back of the success in sourcing the Chief Financial Officer, Compass Executives were also mandated with a Chair requirement, as a result of the original Founder moving on from the business.

Compass Executives were approached by Schoen Clinic to appoint a Managing Director for all UK Operations, off the back of reading of our successful work within this market. Given the specificity of the brief, Schoen required a partner with granular knowledge of the sector, which Compass Executives were able to evidence this alongside a network of individuals who possessed their desired expertise.

Compass Executives were mandated by Bridges Fund Management following a successful competitive pitch to source a Chief Executive Officer as part of a new market entrant opportunity the fund were looking to embark on.

Owing to the complexity of the hire, a rigorous marketing-mapping service was undertaken as part of a highly targeted search, which resulted successfully in the appointment of a first-time hire of a new Chief Executive for the business.

Compass Executives were mandated by Purple – the industry’s leading organisation acting as a catalyst for change in creating opportunities that transform futures by bringing together disabled people and business for a single purpose – to secure a critical MD / CEO designate hire.

Purple were looking to have secured an outstanding leader in less than eight weeks – owing to a number of internal changes which included seeing the Founder and CEO moving into an internal role with Opco business, CareTech Holdings PLC.

Following a three-stage process, an exceptional candidate was appointed into the business first-time.

Compass Executives were mandated by EnableAll – an early-stage start-up dedicated to creating an e-Commerce platform designed to change how the online marketplace is accessed – to source a CEO-designate for the company.

The success candidate would need to be highly technically literate in order to present in clear terms to the Board the progress for the platform’s development; act in an advisory and operational leadership capacity and be commercially savvy.

Following a three-stage interview process, which included a meeting with the Board of Opco, CareTech Holdings PLC, the successful candidate was appointed first-time.
