Tyler & Company Appoints VP for the Northeast and Midwest Regions
February 25, 2019 – Healthcare is among the most rapidly growing employment fields, according to analysts at Hunt Scanlon Media, which tracks trends in the executive search and leadership solutions space. So it is that the need for recruiting firms to deliver top-drawer leaders throughout the sector has only grown.
Atlanta-based healthcare specialists Tyler & Company has expanded with the addition of Diane Nicholas as vice president for its Northeast and Midwest regions. She will be leading searches for mid-level to senior executives and interim placement.
Ms. Nicholas brings over 20 years of expertise in professional staffing, consulting and executive search in the healthcare industry. Before joining Tyler & Company, she was director of client management with boutique firm NHS Solutions. Before that, Ms. Nicholas was a consultant with WK Advisors, a division of Witt/Kieffer. She started her search career with Leader for Today, where she worked for six years with hospital facilities in the Mid-Atlantic region to provide executive leadership in both interim and permanent roles for positions ranging from the director level through the C-suite.
“I have always felt that working in healthcare, although I am on the periphery, was contributing to the greater good,” said Ms. Nicholas. “I get to help amazing people join great organizations where they can make a significant impact and I get to meet and talk to interesting people all day long.”
“There is nothing better than identifying the right person for the right organization,” Ms. Nicholas said. “You help the organization find someone who will build programs and make a difference for their future. You help a candidate find the right culture where they can thrive.”
