Driving Healthcare Excellence: New Chief Executive Officer at Leading Healthcare Organisation
The Brief
In mid-2022, a prominent healthcare organisation approached Future Leadership to conduct an executive search to appoint a new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) following the announced resignation of the incumbent.
Building on an extraordinary legacy of accomplishment, the Board sought a CEO who would lead the organisation into a new era of performance excellence. The incoming CEO would be required to continue developing goals and strategies for the continued development and growth of the hospital, while also ensuring that, after a recent period of growth and transformation, the organisation revisits some ‘business as usual’ principles. With a range of new opportunities for development, including the rebuild of a major medical discovery centre and initiatives such as Hospital in the Home, the hospital sought a future-focused leader.
