Executive search for medical device and dental companies
We recruit the VPs, directors and regional and country leaders who run sales, marketing, product and operations at medtech, dental and digital health companies.
Leaders who run and grow your business
A senior leader sets the direction for a team, and for the people they hire after them. A wrong choice at this level costs far more than an open territory, so we run these searches with more care and more discretion.
We recruit VPs, general managers, directors and regional and country leaders across sales, marketing, product, operations and production for medical device, dental and digital health companies across Canada and the United States. Linda Robertson, who has worked in medical device sales and sales leadership herself, is closely involved in executive searches.
Executive roles we place
Executive titles vary a great deal from one company to the next. A sales director at one company is a regional business manager at another. We recruit at every level, so if your title is not listed, tell us about the role.

Why you will not see these searches listed
Executive searches are usually confidential. A company may not want its team, its competitors or its customers to know a leadership seat is open, and the person in the role today may not know yet. That is why executive roles are not on our job openings page or our list of roles we have filled.
Before a search begins, we agree with you how it will be handled and who will know about it.
