Chief Operating Officer for Canada’s Largest Supplier of Home Health Care Services

Lock Executive was selected to lead this critical mandate to source the COO of a rapidly expanding health care services organization. We collaborated with Senior Management and the Board of Directors to learn what the ideal candidate profile looked like in their eyes. Then we interviewed all the members of their senior management team to truly understand the current culture. Armed with this information and a set of through project deliverables, we sourced far and wide for the very best talent. Our search ultimately lead us to a Canadian Ex-Pat living in Europe who checked all the boxes.

When this global leader in its category needed to replace one of its most senior leaders and critical resources, they retained Lock Executive as their partner. They were intrigued by our unique team based approach and emphasis on results. Working closely with the senior executive we identified the most critical skills required to manage the global marketing strategy and wasted no time in sourcing talent through Canada and the US.

The route to market is rapidly changing for pharmaceutical manufactures; gaining access for new products as well as ensuring a successful reimbursement strategy is now more complex than ever. We were very excited that this global pharmaceutical manufacturer selected Lock Executive as a partner to assist in the recruitment of its most senior position in Canada for Government Affairs and Market Access. We worked closely with the President to identify core competencies as well as desired leadership skills to ensure the best outcome. Our search saw us connecting with leaders in Canada and Internationally. We ultimately identified an exceptional talent on assignment in the United States.
