Relationships. Not transactions.

Walk your PATH not someone else’s.

There are 2 PATHS

1. Paths that change without our control.
2. Paths we courageously choose.

Most of us experience both paths in our journey making us all unique.

Why PATH2

WHY PATH2

We are committed to becoming Digital Health’s most trusted advisors. Renowned for creating and nurturing exceptional innovative partnerships. Making a difference drives us.

Relationships

We put people first. We pride ourselves in the lasting relationships we have formed.

Some for over 30 years. Many of the leaders we work with were referred to us by former colleagues/clients. We constantly and proactively build relationships in our clients disciplines. So when the timing is right, we can pull from those connections.

Focus

We are experts in seed- scaleup VC and PE backed healthcare companies.

This focus gives us an edge in helping our client.

Creative

We act as an extension of your team. We guide and coach leaders through the process of hiring and retaining talent.

We can be nimble with the freedom to think outside the box. Our processes are tailor made for the client based on the fluctuating needs as they scale.

Targeted Outreach

We don’t post and pray. The best talent is usually not looking. If they are, everyone is interested.

We position you to come out on top in the war to find and retain talent. We love taking on the most difficult projects. It takes persistence, our broad network to get people engaged in this competitive market.

Boutique Firm

Bigger isn’t always better when it comes to results and track record.

It is not a huge staff that makes a firm better, it is the ability to listen, be flexible, fast and responsive to your unique needs. To really understand the human condition/factors that lie behind the technical skills takes a personal approach.

Retention

The work doesn’t stop with the recruiting process.

Our services include support for onboarding and ongoing coaching for individuals and teams, creating a culture where people can thrive personally and professionally.

Testimonials

Testimonials

“What an adventure it has been, right? I seriously don’t think I could have hung in there if you were not such an amazing person to partner with. You have been so patient, and kind given our unusual circumstances around compensation and equity etc. And you always showed up and followed up for meetings to give us the feedback we needed to get to this point. That is all we ask for in a good partnership. We appreciate you and the business.
We literally did go around the world to get this one done didn’t we? A search for the logbooks. LOL.”

Jason, Chief Product Officer

“Stephen and his blend of operating experience and leadership coaching methodology have helped me tremendously over the past 2 years. He’s been an excellent resource on my journey through new roles and helping identify core values that are important to me in a company and leadership team. I recommend Stephen to anyone looking to better understand their leadership profile, build confidence, accelerate their career and leadership skills.”

Matt, Chief Strategy Officer

“I thought I’d share my thoughts with regards to the recruiting experience at Teladoc/Livongo. The process you led for the CAO search has been a pleasure and quite honestly refreshing.
I am familiar with external recruiting firms taking the lead when recruiting senior level roles. And I have always found their approach to be thorough, informed, organized and focused on serving the best interests of the Company. I believe you and your team brought those qualities to the CAO search but in addition brought an intimate knowledge of the Company, the culture and possibly more familiar relationships with the executive leadership. While still serving the best interests of the Company, you and your internal team made me feel like they were an advocate of me as the candidate as well and that my experience and thoughts were being heard!
And I must say, at least from my perspective your reach and search net was terrific. You found me and given the fact that I was a good fit for the role, not currently looking for a new opportunity and am located in another city shows the breadth of the search capabilities.”

Cindy, Chief Accounting Officer
“Stephen is a compassionate people leader with only the good intentions to encourage and help others grow. Due to his successful career navigating through a number of large scale organizations interacting with all types of individuals, his familiarity and ability to relate to various situations I am going through has made my coaching sessions with him that much more impactful.”
Terri, VP of US Strategy

“I’d like to introduce you to Leslie and Peg, from PATH2 Executive Search. They came highly recommended from Jim H and I’ve been working with them for several months now in filling my roles. They have done an exceptional job bringing forth high quality candidates. They are very much “steeped” in our business, market, and needs. Both Leslie and Peg are some of the best I’ve worked with and it goes without saying, they are just an absolute pleasure to work with! “

Joe, Chief Medical Officer
“He has proven adept at shining light to help me uncover self-limiting behaviors and blocks obstructing the path forward. It’s a gift to be so down to earth yet able to understand how complex and intricate the factors in our lives weigh on our choices. I know my career trajectory is altered up as a result of working with Stephen.”
Cassandra, Director, Compliance
“Peg, thank you for your focus and painstaking follow-through.”
Amar, Co Founder/President

“Stephen is a thoughtful coach who zeroed in on my strengths and opportunities and aligned our work together with my goals. Stephen helped me recognize ways to maneuver my approaches and grow in my abilities. He is constructive but kind and I always knew his goal was vested in me and my success.”

Ann, Staff Vice President, Learning and Quality

“The CEO left me a voicemail this morning announcing the bad news.
I wanted to thank you though for your time and your help.
You are the best recruiter I ever met: clear, helpful and available!”

Michel, Chief Product Officer

“I had the privilege of working with Stephen during a pivotal point in my career, and his guidance was instrumental in helping me achieve my professional goals. His ability to ask thought-provoking questions and provide constructive feedback enabled me to develop a clearer vision, enhance my communication skills, and unlock my full potential as a leader. What sets Stephen apart is his genuine dedication to my success. He takes the time to understand my strengths and areas for improvement, tailoring his approach to meet my specific needs.”

Kathy, Vice President of Operations
“Peg thanks for your tremendous help and generosity in such a short period of time. I know you moved mountains very quickly and I can’t tell you how grateful I am. I am sure our paths will cross again and I’m looking forward to that.”
Zubin, Chief Medical Officer
“Thank you so much for your transparency and genuine interactions throughout this process. This was definitely by far the best encounter I’ve ever had with a recruiter, in any circumstance. Also, please pass along this note to Tamer. I’ll also message him on LinkedIn. Thanks.”
David, Chief Medical Officer
“I wanted to thank you sincerely for speaking with me earlier this week. You were incredibly helpful, and you really didn’t have to do that. You reminded me that the world is filled with good people, and acts of kindness go a long way.”
Kristin, VP of Product
