We were looking for a Chief Digital Health Officer for a client in the medtech sector – a new role at the intersection of technology, regulation, and strategy. Classic candidate profiles? None could be found. Together with our client we identified essential skills for the job: flexibility, willingness to learn, technological expertise, transformational power, an understanding of regulations and a focus on the market.
We expanded the search radius to include people with proven skills from completely different business areas.
At the end an experienced digital leader from the telecommunications sector impressed in practical assessments. And he led the digital transformation to great success.
