Chief Executive Officer

Role overview

A growth-stage medical device company with FDA-cleared products, active commercial activity, and an advancing internal pipeline is looking for a Chief Executive Officer to guide its next stage of scaling and enterprise value creation. The organization works in important implantable and indwelling device segments that address complications affecting patient outcomes, device durability, and hospital economics.

The Board has set a focused 24 to 36 month mandate centered on accelerating durable U.S. revenue growth, building and expanding high-value third-party commercial partnerships, and positioning the business for a successful liquidity event that creates value.

This is a scale-and-position leadership role, not an early-stage research or proof-of-concept assignment.

What you will lead

• Further product growth and revenue expansion across defined U.S. medical device markets
• Selective expansion into international markets where profitable growth can be achieved
• Licensing efforts and OEM partnership structures with established device manufacturers
• Alignment across clinical, regulatory, manufacturing, and commercial functions
• Development of governance and reporting systems that support transaction readiness
• Completion of the current capital raise, if needed
• Planning and execution of an exit or liquidity event under Board direction

You will work with a capable management team with strong medical device expertise, a fast, data-driven operating style, physician relationships, active programs, and a Board aligned around growth and exit planning.

Candidate profile

The company is seeking a leader with deep exposure to implantable, disposable, catheter-based, or long-term indwelling medical devices. Prior CEO experience in early-stage or novel medical technology is strongly preferred, though senior divisional leadership with demonstrated readiness for CEO-level responsibility and startup-style leadership may also be considered.

The ideal candidate has a history of growing revenue in platform medtech businesses, negotiating and closing third-party commercial arrangements that embed proprietary technology into a partner’s portfolio, and generating measurable revenue impact. Direct participation in value-creating acquisitions or liquidity events is important, along with the ability to build trust with boards, investors, regulators, and strategic acquirers.

Strong people leadership is essential, especially the ability to guide highly capable scientists and engineers.

Why this role stands out

• The business already has FDA clearance in place
• Commercialization is underway and revenue is increasing
• OEM adoption could create meaningful additional value
• The exit or liquidity timeline is clearly defined
• The Board mandate is explicit and focused

Candidates who have created value ahead of a liquidity event and want to repeat that success in a deliberate, fast-moving environment are encouraged to explore this opportunity confidentially.
