Executive Leadership Hiring: Chief Operating Officer (COO) for a Pan-India Cancer Care Brand in Hubli

Client Overview

A leading Pan-India cancer care brand, recognized for its advanced treatments and specialized services, required a Chief Operating Officer (COO) to oversee operations across its nationwide network. As the brand was expanding its presence into Tier-2 cities, including Hubli, Karnataka, the COO was expected to lead operational growth, maintain high standards of care, and guide the brand’s strategy for long-term success.

The Challenge

Right Leadership: The client sought a COO with substantial experience in healthcare operations, especially in oncology care. The challenge was to find a leader who had the right balance of strategic thinking and operational expertise, along with the ability to manage complex healthcare facilities.
Cultural Fit: Beyond technical qualifications, the client needed someone who could align with their values of patient-centric care, innovation, and compassion. Ensuring the new COO would adapt to the company culture and drive these values across the organization was crucial.
Remote Location: Hubli was not a typical destination for senior executives, especially in the healthcare sector. Convincing a top-level leader to relocate to Hubli, a city with emerging infrastructure and business presence, was an additional challenge.
Operational Scaling: As the brand expanded into new regions, the COO was tasked with scaling operations effectively while maintaining the same level of quality and care across multiple locations, ensuring consistency and operational excellence.

Svastih’s Approach

Targeted Leadership Search: Svastih Placements conducted a nationwide search to identify candidates with the right operational and healthcare leadership experience, particularly those with a background in oncology or multi-location healthcare management.
Comprehensive Candidate Assessment: We focused on finding a leader who not only possessed operational excellence but also demonstrated a passion for patient care and aligning with the organization’s long-term mission.
Relocation Strategy: Svastih worked with the client to present Hubli as an attractive location for career growth and leadership opportunities, emphasizing the potential to shape the future of cancer care in the region.
Operational Strategy: We ensured that the selected COO had the expertise to lead the expansion smoothly while upholding the brand’s values and maintaining operational efficiency across the growing network.

Results and Impact

The COO played a pivotal role in integrating the Hubli location into the brand’s broader network, enhancing operational workflows and patient care standards.
Under their leadership, the brand expanded its reach to Tier-2 cities, improving the availability of advanced cancer care for a wider population.
The hospital network benefited from strong leadership, resulting in a more cohesive organizational culture focused on patient well-being and operational excellence.
