Our Story
I founded Iris Harbor after building my career in physician and executive recruitment and working closely with healthcare leaders. I saw firsthand how difficult it was for pathology groups to identify the right individuals — and how often these critical searches were handled without the specialty focus they require.
Pathology roles are different. Too often, organizations are left navigating these decisions without a partner who truly understands the nuances of the field.
Iris Harbor was built to change that.
By focusing exclusively on pathology roles, we bring a level of depth, discretion, and alignment that generalist search firms simply cannot match.
Our name reflects the clarity, focus, and trust that define how we work.
Our Approach
Executive search in pathology requires more than identifying available candidates. Each search is shaped by a deep understanding of the organization’s clinical environment, long-term vision, and unique needs.
Our work is grounded in long-standing relationships with pathologists and healthcare leaders, allowing us to engage individuals who are not actively seeking new opportunities but are receptive to opportunities presented through trusted relationships.
Why Pathology?
Pathology plays a critical role in medicine.
The recruitment challenges facing laboratories and pathology groups are complex. Subspecialty expertise, leadership transitions, academic partnerships, and evolving laboratory infrastructure all require a search partner who understands the nuances of the field.
By focusing exclusively on pathology physician and executive leadership roles, Iris Harbor brings network depth that generalist search firms cannot replicate.
Discretion & Confidentiality
Career decisions in medicine are rarely made publicly. The same is true for organizations navigating team or leadership transitions.
We approach every engagement with discretion, allowing opportunities to be explored thoughtfully and confidentially.
