digital health leaders by day. built with ai by night.
Digital health executive recruiter at Direct Recruiters. I help founders hire the leaders who scale them, and I build production software with AI myself, so I understand the technology they're betting on and the people who can build it.
Two sides of the same table.
Whether you're building the team or planning your next chapter, the work is the same: getting the right person and the right company in the same room.
For founders & hiring teams
You have a role that actually matters, a CTO, a head of product, a first commercial leader, and you can't afford to get it wrong. I run the search end to end and bring you people who fit your stage, not just your job description.

You're a strong leader in digital health weighing your next move. I'll give you the straight read, on fit, on comp, on timing, and keep you close to the roles worth your attention. No spam, no spray-and-pray.
Let's talk →Searches I've filled.
A sample of roles I've placed across digital health, from engineering to clinical to commercial. Companies and candidates kept private out of respect for everyone involved.
What people I've worked with say.
"Will was an outstanding recruiting partner in my search for a new product role. From the outset he operated with transparency, and at every stage he ensured I had clarity on expectations, context on stakeholders, and actionable guidance to sharpen my narrative. What truly differentiates Will is his ability to balance speed with rigor: he moved the process forward efficiently without compromising preparation or alignment."
"Will did an outstanding job explaining the role, matching it to my skill set, and managing the entire recruiting process beginning to end. I never had a question unanswered, and he was kind and respectful to work with. He got me to the next level in my career and I'm very grateful. Highly recommend."
Digital health is being rebuilt on AI. I build with AI myself, so I understand both the technology and the people who can wield it.
The companies I recruit for are shipping agentic, AI-driven products, and they need leaders who genuinely understand how that gets built. I do, because I build it. I direct AI to ship real, production software, including the CRM I run my own desk on. So when I evaluate an engineering, product, or commercial hire, I'm reading the work from the inside: what good looks like, what AI can actually do, and what breaks at scale.
That's the day job.
After hours, I build.
Everything past this line — Acuova, Vega, and the local-site studio — is my own after-hours work, independent of Direct Recruiters. Same person, different room.
I understand how AI builds real software, because I build it.
Digital health is going AI-native, and so is enterprise software everywhere. I've shipped real, production software with AI myself, so I understand firsthand how AI is reshaping the way serious, enterprise-grade software gets built, and how to find the people who can do it.

Acuova
A production CRM, built by directing AI
A full system, candidates, pipeline, automations, outreach, that I designed and built with AI and use every day to run real searches. Not a prototype, real software running a real business. It's how I know what AI can actually do, and what it takes to get from demo to dependable.

Recruiting is my main work. On the side, I rebuild dated websites for family-run businesses — and make sure they show up where customers actually look now: Google, Maps, and AI assistants like ChatGPT. Modern site, local SEO, AI-search optimization. Built fast, priced fair.
