Inside the ecosystem

Where you come from

Jordan built his career inside MedTech rather than around it. Early on, he realised most recruiters were operating at surface level, matching CVs to job specs without truly understanding the clinical, commercial, and regulatory nuance that defines this industry.
Cardiovascular was the space that clicked. High stakes, deeply technical, fast moving, and built around a small network of genuinely elite operators. What drew him in most was the level of ambition — founders, clinicians, engineers, and executives all pushing to solve incredibly difficult problems with a real impact on patients’ lives. It also became personal after his own cardiac health scare, which gave him an even greater appreciation for cardiovascular innovation and the people driving it forward.

The type of hire you specialise in

Jordan specialises in senior and executive hires across cardiovascular MedTech, typically Director to C-level, as well as critical team builds in scaling businesses. That spans commercial, clinical, regulatory, and product roles where execution risk is highest.
Because he spends time inside the market, through ongoing conversations, podcast interviews, and direct exposure to operators, he understands what great actually looks like in this space. Not just on paper, but in the cath lab, in the boardroom, and during scale.

How you actually run a search

Jordan runs a search like a strategic project, not a transactional process. That means upfront alignment on what success truly looks like, deep market mapping, and honest calibration with clients throughout. A core part of this is working closely with founders and leadership teams to build a compelling, credible story around the business, one that genuinely attracts the right people, not just available talent.
He prioritises access over volume, bringing forward candidates who are often not actively looking but are the right fit culturally and technically. With candidates, he operates transparently and with respect: no fluff, no wasted time. He won’t compromise on quality or push a hire that doesn’t genuinely move the business forward.

Outside of work

Outside of work, Jordan spends time outdoors with his dog, travelling, and renovating his first home. He’s always been drawn to building things, whether that’s a home, a network, or a business.

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.
