Rapid CXO Hiring for a High-Growth HealthTech Company
The Challenge
A Series C HealthTech company was preparing for a major growth phase—new markets, new partnerships, and an upcoming fundraise. But their executive bench was incomplete. The CEO needed a CHRO, CMO, and Head of Operations who could not only scale the business but align with the company’s values and future vision. After months of stalled searches and misaligned candidates, the leadership team was losing momentum.
The TalentNow Approach
I stepped in as a Fractional Chief Talent Officer to guide the CEO through a reset of their hiring strategy. We started with a working session to clarify the outcomes each role needed to drive in the next 12–18 months. Then, I deployed the Rapid Hire Method™—activating passive candidate outreach, refining the interview process, and providing hands-on support from first screen to final offer.
The Outcome
-
Placed a mission-aligned CHRO, CMO, and Head of Operations within 60 days.
-
Increased leadership team diversity: all the hires were people of color.
-
CEO reported 50% improvement in executive decision-making speed.
-
Company closed next funding round with confidence in leadership bench.
