CALDWELL APPOINTS STEVEN PRICE CO-LEADER OF LIFE SCIENCES & HEALTHCARE PRACTICE

The Caldwell Partners International Inc. has appointed Steven Price as co-leader of its life science and health care practice. Mr. Price will join John Blank in leading the practice as Caldwell continues to expand its capabilities across the life science and health care sectors.

Caldwell's life science and health care practice advises pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, diagnostics, health care service, academic medicine and health care technology organizations on-board chief executive officer and senior executive appointments. The practice helps clients recruit leaders who advance innovation, growth and organizational performance.

"Steven has built an outstanding reputation as a trusted adviser across academic medicine and the broader health care landscape," said Chris Beck, chief executive officer of Caldwell. "His leadership, market expertise and commitment to excellence make him an ideal partner to lead the practice alongside John. Following John's recent appointment as chief operating officer, Steven's expanded leadership role adds further strength to one of our flagship practices and positions it for continued success."

Mr. Price focuses on senior leadership searches for academic medical schools and health systems, partnering with deans and health system leaders to recruit critical academic and clinical leadership roles. He brings more than 20 years of experience in physician and health care leadership recruitment, and has advised leading academic institutions, health systems and physician organizations on complex executive searches and long-term talent strategies. Prior to joining Caldwell, he led the academic practice at Merritt Hawkins, an AMN health care company.

As co-leader, Mr. Price will work with Mr. Blank to advance the practice's growth strategy, deepen collaboration across its sectors and continue expanding Caldwell's capabilities while serving clients globally.
