With over 18 years of experience, Dan Kiely has built an outstanding track record in executive search across the healthcare and life sciences sectors, delivering both permanent and interim appointments. His expertise spans senior leadership roles including Chair, CEO, COO, Medical Director, CPO, and commercial positions, supporting organisations of all sizes – from multinational and publicly listed companies to pre-revenue start-ups and spin-outs.
His last market update, published back in January, spoke of the impact of Labour’s first budget, the ‘new deal’ between the NHS and the independent sector, and a meaningful uptick in the number of COO/operations searches we were being asked to facilitate. As we approach the second half of the financial year, Dan provides his thoughts and experiences from the healthcare executive search space from Summer 2025 and beyond.
