Lee has worked with a diverse healthcare client base including Fortune 500 companies, small and mid-size public and private companies, as well as venture capital backed start-ups, conducting search assignments for mid and senior functional roles.  Combining a unique perspective as an entrepreneur, Lee can identify the resources needed to grow a business, and because of his almost 40 years of experience, has the insights and assessment skills to identify and recruit candidates that truly make a difference for his clients and their businesses.  His consultative style and approach have distinguished Lee as a trusted advisor, and has resulted in him being asked to serve as a strategic consultant to companies looking to gain marketshare within their sector.

In addition, Lee has conducted workshops, written articles in trade and national publications, and is a frequent speaker at national and regional conferences and symposiums.  He lectures on executive recruiting practices and trends as well as the strategic role between search firms and startup and early stage companies in the healthcare space.  He is the firm’s delegate to numerous healthcare associations, and has traveled internationally with the Presidents and senior executives of the leading HMOs and allied Pharmaceutical companies to research and study the healthcare systems of different countries. 

Recognizing the value of human capital in relationships, Lee was one of the first recruiters to see how you could leverage these underutilized networks into the creation of new businesses.  He expanded this concept beyond his personal equity interests in start-up companies, by putting this principle to work in 1997 by co-founding The Nantucket Group, LLC, an early stage healthcare venture capital fund. Several of the funds portfolio company investments were I-trax, Beansprout Networks and EduNeering.  As a founder and general partner, Lee was responsible for staffing the portfolio companies, and also opened up his firm’s networks to introduce executives who would become strategic business partners, board members, and customers.

A long-time resident of Pennsylvania, he resides with his wife in Birchrunville, Pennsylvania and on Nantucket Island.   Lee majored in Textile Marketing & Management at The Philadelphia College of Textiles & Science and has held board positions with organizations and companies in both the for-profit and not-for-profit sectors.
