Service Used
Sub Sector
Location Provided In
The Client

Andromeda Surgical
The Client
Andromeda Surgical is a TechMed company building the future of autonomous surgery. Unlike traditional MedTech businesses, Andromeda operates at the intersection of robotics, software, and clinical innovation, moving at a speed and level of ambition that demands a fundamentally different approach to building a team.
The Challenge
Andromeda is a high-conviction, high-context business. Hiring decisions require significant conversation and calibration, because not everyone who looks right on paper is built for the pace, ambiguity, and intensity of the environment. Their philosophy is built around slope over starting point: they are not looking for the safest profile today, but for people with the trajectory, ownership, and learning agility to grow into something much bigger.
The Solution
We supported two critical hires. First, a Head of Clinical with a track record running global trials at some of the most demanding organisations in the industry, including Zimmer Biomet and Neuralink, brought in to own clinical operations globally. Second, a Head of QARA joining from Science Corp, with prior experience at Neuralink, appointed to lead quality and regulatory strategy. In both cases, mindset was the deciding factor. TechMed is a new category, and hiring at this intersection demands the right combination of skillset and attitude to move fast, own outcomes, and scale into something much bigger.
