About Us

For more than 20 years, Day & Associates, with headquarters in the San Francisco’s Bay Area, has been retained as a trusted advisor by dozens of healthcare companies – and by the investment community that serves them—to identify, assess, and recruit top-performing senior executive talent and to fill board vacancies.

Our clients range from Fortune 500 companies to start-up ventures; our assignments cover the full-range of senior management and board functions.

Our business model, based on intimate knowledge of and contact with each of our clients, has led to an above-industry annual growth rate, averaging over 28 percent in the past two years. Ninety percent of our business comes from current clients and client referrals.

CORE COMPETENCIES

We bring to every search assignment a deep reservoir of experience, developed over 30 years in the healthcare industry, both as senior executives and as executive search consultants. This first-hand experience enables us to:

  • Quickly grasp the science, business goals, and performance needs of clients. We speak the same language and share a common perspective with healthcare clients.

  • Provide insight and seasoned advice based on industry expertise. We bring to discussions the “voice of experience” and a keen questioning capability.

  • Tap into an extensive personal network, enabling us to quickly access potential candidates, their peers, and even their managers and subordinates.

NEW FLASH, our commercial opportunity assessment, expands our value to clients as they consider in/out licensing opportunities, investments and strategic partnerships.
