CLIENT Case Study

Managing Director at Basis Research

Carrot supported the successful appointment of a U.S.-based Managing Director with a strong track record in both consulting and healthcare insights. The placement marked a pivotal leadership transition for Basis Health, with the new MD positioned to drive the company’s next phase of growth.

The Managing Director hire proved to be a long-term success, with the individual still in post several years later and driving meaningful growth across the business.

Following this success, Carrot supported two further senior hires to work under the MD, reinforcing the leadership team and supporting continued expansion. This relationship with Basis Health has remained strong, with ongoing briefs and continued collaboration to this day.
