PE firm urgently needs Head of Sales as portco grows
A private equity firm and portco CEO came to us with a critical need for a Head of Sales for their healthcare logistics company. Since the acquisition, the portfolio company had been growing rapidly and they needed to bring in a sales leader that could forge the way for the company to expand into new markets. With a lean sales team, they knew filling the vacant role was a top priority. They urgently needed a PE-grade sales leader who was a strategic thinker and strong seller while having a proven track record of building and leading sales organizations in high-growth, healthcare companies.
