 Combing the market for opportunities

Duane has proven to be a knowledgeable and reliable resource for multiple companies in the GM&C Life Sciences Fund portfolio, bringing operational, commercial and management expertise to digital health companies at key points of their development. Working with Duane in multiple roles, I can attest to him being a hands-on Chairman, and to have a keen focus on team building, as he has been able to navigate challenging terrain whilst successfully keeping board members, shareholders, and employees onside.

Guiding Teams

The right team can overcome almost any obstacle. With Cíor Consulting’s support, business leaders learn to build, grow and/or transform their own teams through mentoring that gets into the detail and encourages but doesn’t overshadow.

putting wings on talent

I would describe Duane’s style as structure with understanding. He puts people in boxes which can then be stretched or merged. Sometimes he puts the extra piece into your box and calls attention to it, and it changes everything.

Leading Boards

With decisiveness and a drive to succeed, Cíor Consulting’s approach to boardroom leadership shapes positive long-term plans within a framework of principled governance. Opinions are respected and lively participation is both encouraged and given. Governance is guided by establishing a corporate culture that seeks to succeed, with integrity. Positive connections with senior management come naturally from years of leading businesses in the healthcare technology sector. Today that experience is distilled to provide vision and strategic purpose to boards of private and publicly traded businesses.

organising the hive

As both a Chair and NED Duane’s strengths include sensitivity to the differing needs and expertise of fellow board members and an ability to command respect through silence rather than noise. His command of the board room rests on a solid foundation of skill, experience, and preparation.
