Shaping leadership ecosystems that align, perform, and stay.
Hunton Executive is a boutique executive search and leadership advisory firm, dedicated exclusively to the healthcare (providers and services) and life sciences (pharmaceutical, biotech, MedTech) sectors.
We don’t just place executives, we build competitive teams around them. By combining deep sector expertise with global reach and local insight, we deliver leaders who align, perform, and stay.
C-suite impact isn’t optional, it’s essential. But true transformation doesn’t come from one leader alone. At Hunton Executive, we connect you with the right executives and surround them with the talent layers they need to succeed.
With a strong presence in Australia, New Zealand, and the Asia-Pacific region, and expanding networks across Europe, the USA, and the Middle East, we combine international reach with local fluency. This allows us to deliver leadership solutions that are globally informed, regionally relevant, and built for long-term impact.
At Hunton Executive, we know true impact doesn’t come from one leader alone. Transformation happens when exceptional executives are supported by the right mix of talent around them. That’s why we partner with organisations to secure C-suite leaders and the competitive teams that drive performance, resilience, and growth.
From CEOs and Country Managers to functional heads, middle managers, and business-critical specialists, we build leadership ecosystems that strengthen capability across every layer of your business ensuring lasting impact, not just short-term results.
We work exclusively in healthcare and life sciences, where the stakes are high, the pressure to deliver is immense, and the cost of failure is significant. Our role is to de-risk critical hiring decisions, deepen leadership capacity, and give organisations the depth they need to thrive today and into the future.
We specialise exclusively in healthcare and life sciences. It is a sector we know deeply, and one in which we have spent decades building relationships, insight, and trust.
Our clients include multinational corporations expanding across global regions, scale-ups and startups establishing foundations, and established providers undergoing transformation. We also partner with not-for-profits and public health organisations seeking impact.
Our sector reach spans pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, MedTech, diagnostics, digital health, hospitals, healthcare services, aged care, and government health agencies. With a presence in more than 15 countries, we combine international reach with local fluency, bringing both breadth and depth to every search.
Hunton Executive delivers leadership solutions that extend beyond recruitment. What makes us different is not just the calibre of talent we place but the way we build the teams and systems around them to ensure success.
Every assignment is senior consultant–led from start to finish. With over 25 years of healthcare and life sciences experience, we bring both strategic insight and hands-on expertise. We believe in a candidate-first philosophy, building long-term trust-based relationships that give us unparalleled access to leaders and emerging talent.
The results speak for themselves. Ninety-two percent of our placements remain in role for more than three years. Ninety-eight percent exceed performance expectations within their first year. And our time-to-hire is consistently faster than the industry average.
In short, we help you secure leaders who not only align with your organisation but deliver measurable impact and lasting value.
We support both new affiliates entering the market and established organisations by building and replacing foundational teams, leaders, and executives critical to business success. Whether launching in a new region or evolving an existing structure, we appoint high-impact talent from frontline to executive levels, locally and across borders.
We partner with organisations to build effective boards aligned with their business vision, hire foundational teams and business-critical leaders, and create agile, competitive workforces that are equipped to scale and drive sustainable growth.
We help organisations secure board members who provide strategic guidance, hire leadership capable of building or transforming service models, and strengthen overall organisational capability to ensure resilience and future-readiness.
