Nordic Consulting recently promoted Terri LeFort to president of Nordic International, hired Kieran Hughes as president of Nordic's European and Middle Eastern markets and hired Thomas O'Shaughnessy as president of Healthtech, a Nordic Global Company operating in Canada, according to a press release. The modifications are a direct result of the company’s efforts to expand internationally.
"Terri's exceptional work and results at Healthtech illustrate her natural leadership and extensive expertise to manage our international team as we continue to expand in those regions to meet market demands," said Jim Costanzo, CEO at Nordic. "We are incredibly excited to have Kieran and Thomas join us as we continue to grow. With an increasing number of opportunities in Europe, Middle East and Canada, it has been important to us to find leaders with the right skills and expertise to lead and further our presence and offerings in these regions."
Former president of Healthtech, LeFort is set to oversee the Canadian, European and Middle Eastern markets. With more than three decades of healthcare expertise, LeFort will be tasked with coordinating across all of Nordic's global markets, working in close collaboration with Hughes and O'Shaughnessy to form Nordic's international go-to-market strategy.
"As a member of the Nordic family for years, I've witnessed first hand the incredible upwards path the company has been on. With expertise in the major Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems and a strong consultant base, Nordic is even more poised to meet the evolving needs of our global client base," LeFort said. "I'm excited to step into this new role, where I can take the innovative work we've done in Canada at Healthtech and leverage it to grow in new international regions."
Based in the UK, Hughes will be tasked with overseeing the growth, strategy, performance and operations of Nordic's European and Middle Eastern markets. Before joining the global health and technology consulting company, he spent several years contributing to healthcare consulting, innovation and technology services firms, where he defined and executed international M&A and growth strategies for clients throughout Europe and the Middle East.
"The healthcare industry is experiencing a period of transformation, as technology and innovation become even more important in our digital world. Nordic has had an impressive growth trajectory over the past few years, with a plan to continue its expansion internationally and with new and enhanced offerings for clients," Hughes said. "I'm looking forward to continuing Nordic's momentum and supporting the execution of its growth strategy across Europe and the Middle East."
With more than 21 years of strategy and operations experience in the healthcare industry, O'Shaughnessy has garnered experience regarding strategic planning and service delivery modernization. The appointments follow the recent acquisition of Hygeian Consulting and announcement of a new office in Dubai.
"For more than two decades, I've helped health organizations across Canada embrace technology and new processes to run more efficiently and effectively. The Nordic Global Companies have both the breadth and depth to accelerate these mandates in Canada and also as we look at supporting Meditech initiatives internationally," O'Shaughnessy said. "I'm looking forward to working with the talented people at Nordic Global Companies and continuing their great work into the next evolution of the business."
