Keith Hebert, Senior Director Regulatory
Inari Medical
Inari has been fortunate to experience
rapid growth, which brings about the need
to hire top talent quickly in order to meet
these growth demands. This is a good
problem to have and Lifeblood has been a
strong strategic partner to help us solve
this problem leveraging their vast global
network and depth of expertise in the
MedTech industry. Our long-lasting
positive relationship has been fueled by
Lifeblood’s robust process, knowledge,
and intuition helping us hire high-
performing talent very quickly in the
Clinical and Regulatory functions.

Tracy Macneal, CEO
Materna Medical
Finding the right growth partner to
support our team’s expansion and
diversification during our early days and
over the years to come is not an easy
task. It is both about execution and
cultural fit. We retained Lifeblood on
numerous hiring needs, with a focus on
diversity, to grow our women’s health
company. The outcome of our business
partnership has been successful, and we
enjoy the relationship that we have built to
this day. I recommend Lifeblood for
women’s health technology companies
who need to build diverse teams.

Gulam Khan
Centerline Biomedical
We retained Lifeblood to conduct a
recruitment process for an Independent
Board Director, which was both a
successful and highly educational
process. Lifeblood’s quality and speed of
service, and their attention to
communication and details throughout the
process is their differentiator in addition to
their extensive executive network. I would
recommend Lifeblood to MedTech
companies who are in need of
Independent Board Directors.

Mark Lehmkuhle, CEO
Epitel
We needed a commercialization leader
with a specific combination of skills and
experience not necessarily from our field.
We retained Lifeblood to expand and drive
this search with high expectations. The
outcome was a streamlined, expedited,
and thorough delivery of relevant
candidates that enabled our educated
decision to make ‘the right’ hire. Both the
Board of Directors and the executive team
were impressed by Lifeblood’s ability to
deliver above and beyond. I would
recommend Lifeblood to companies that
value a good process that delivers
outcomes.

Lucy O'Keefe, CEO
CroiValve
We had a hyper-specific need for a
strategic marketing executive that would
make the difference in our company’s
industry positioning. We partnered with
Lifeblood, who executed the search and
hiring process efficiently and ahead of our
timeline. Lifeblood’s commitment to the
MedTech industry and their quality of
service makes them recommended resource for companies with strategic hiring needs.

Brian Murphy, VP of People
Key Tech
We were in need of a designer with a
unique background blending industrial
design and human factors. After
exhausting our own talent networks, we
engaged Lifeblood given their reputation
for recruitment in the MedTech industry.
They delivered exceptional candidates
and an educational process that led to a
successful hire. We recommend Lifeblood
to MedTech solution providers who are expanding their teams.

Brian Shields, CEO
Neurent Medical
Building a high performing team is always a challenge for early stage companies. Building a team across the Atlantic as we expanded from Europe to the U.S. market is even more challenging. We partnered with Lifeblood to make this process easier and more efficient for us. Our relationship with the Lifeblood management team has been built over years; their commitment to the global MedTech industry as well as their execution on the recruitment services is highly commendable. I have recommended the Lifeblood team to other CEOs who have enjoyed similar experiences and I will continue to recommend them as a talent search partner.

Umaima Malik Ahmad, CEO
52North
Lifeblood has proved consistently outstanding insight on financial and business strategy, investor segmentation and outreach. They learnt and adapted quickly, enabling them to provide guidance as though part of the internal team. With strong sector-specific knowledge and networks, coupled with hands-on entrepreneurial experience, their offering is a unique and indispensable resource for start-ups in the med-tech space.​

Braulio Ortiz, Principal
BioTeknica
Having to replace a partner with an external hire is impossible. However, leveraging a search firm to run a thorough recruitment process to provide an educational experience on what external candidates could bring to your company is worth the investment. Lifeblood enabled our firm to have exposure to a cohort of talent combined with a high-touch, communicative process that yielded the ability for our executive team to make the optimal decision and hire. I recommend Lifeblood to MedTech service providers that have critical hiring needs.
