Interim General Manager, CELOX Medical
The Client
CELOX Medical develops specialist medical technologies for haemorrhage control and wound care. Its products serve emergency medical services, hospitals and other professional users.
That combination of clinical purpose, product innovation and international markets means the business needs disciplined management and confident commercial leadership.
The Requirement
The brief was for a hands-on interim General Manager who could oversee day-to-day performance while keeping longer-term priorities in focus. Experience of regulated medical products was an important consideration.
The role spanned operations, quality, sales and product development. The individual had to balance pace and accountability with the requirements of a specialist healthcare business.
The Solution
Novo centred the search on general managers and managing directors from medical devices, healthcare products and related regulated environments, an area our healthcare and life sciences team knows well.
Candidates were assessed on:
- Operational leadership in regulated environments
- Commercial development across international markets
- Cross-functional decision making
- Experience of working with technical specialists
- Earning the confidence of experienced teams quickly
The Outcome
CELOX gained visible leadership for the interim period. Accountability was reinforced across the business, and commercial and operational momentum was maintained.
