With a background that spans multiple industries—including healthcare, manufacturing, and professional services—Sam knows how to quickly understand the needs of a department and deliver leaders who are the right match in both skillset and culture.
“Great recruiting is about listening, understanding the stakes, and making sure the right person ends up in the right role—for the long term,” Sam says. “That’s what I focus on every day.”
What Sets Sam Apart
- A relationship-first approach to recruiting
- Deep understanding of surgical services leadership
- A commitment to white-glove service for both clients and candidates
