Solutions
Developed by Haffey&Co. and proven to drive more than $15B+ in MedTech exits, HPMS is a proprietary, closed-loop management system that turns strategy into execution—and confusion into clarity. It’s used by CEOs to:
- Align board, leadership, and front lines around mission, vision, values
- Drive execution of “vital few” priorities with precision
- Cascade “vital few” priorities into goals and objectives throughout the organization
- Improve culture, decision-making, and accountability across functions
HPMS includes stakeholder input (board, customer, employee), a leadership workshop, Success Trees® tied to individual roles, and ongoing stoplight reporting—all refreshed on a regular basis. It’s the system that keeps MedTech companies focused, fast, and aligned.
Whether you’re a first-time CEO or an experienced leader navigating complex stages in company growth, we serve as your trusted thought partner to help you clarify your vision and plan, pressure-test key decisions, and navigate complex stakeholder dynamics.

- Synthesize aspirations and risks
- Identify vital decision points and governance principles
- Establish up/down stakeholder strategies
- Validate talent choices
All coaching is anchored in our Medtech CEO Playbook, built in partnership with top investors and board members to ensure decisions are not just right—but right on time.
Top-tier MedTech talent isn’t looking—they’re listening. We help you build the strategy and employer presence to get in front of them. From commercial talent strategy to compensation modeling and organization design, we guide you to:
- Engage top performers and PRECRUIT them before they think about their next position
- Develop targeted, role-specific talent access strategies that create a deep talent bench
- Build brand presence that signals to high performers “Who will they become”
- Design mission-forward messaging that inspires commitment
We don’t just fill roles. We help you shape the future of your leadership team and take proactive steps to achieve that vision with precision, reputation, and reach.
Establishing a foothold in the U.S. means more than incorporating an entity—it means getting it right from the inside out. We support international and scaling MedTech companies to:
- Design U.S.-based org structures and leadership teams
- Build investor and board-trusted GTM strategies
- Access our MedTech network across vendors. Best in category CRO’s, contract manufacturers, regulatory consultants, legal support and key advisors

We turn ambiguity into access, with the insight and connections to make U.S. expansion a competitive advantage.
