Healthcare and life sciences are evolving rapidly—driven by digital transformation, demographic shifts, and a demand for greater access and equity. Phelps partners with hospitals, research institutes, biotech, pharma, and academic health centres to identify leaders with deep clinical understanding, regulatory foresight, and operational acumen. We seek transformative executives who drive innovation in care delivery, health equity, patient experience, and system integration.

Education is undergoing significant change, from evolving learner needs to technological innovation and equity-focused governance. Phelps supports school boards, colleges, and universities in identifying leaders who balance academic excellence with accessibility, digital fluency, and inclusive leadership. We’ve led searches for Directors of Education, Superintendents, Presidents, Provosts, and Deans across Canada.

Tech is now a strategic driver—not just a support function. We place CIOs, CTOs, CDOs, CISOs, and Chief AI Officers who lead digital acceleration, cybersecurity strategy, and tech transformation across all sectors. Our leaders think enterprise-wide, embed inclusivity in innovation, and build secure, scalable solutions.

Public institutions are tasked with delivering trust, equity, and high-impact service in a complex landscape. Phelps partners with ministries, agencies, commissions, and crown corporations to place executives with the strategic vision, stakeholder agility, and governance expertise needed to lead through change. We understand the accountability, transparency, and policy alignment public leaders must deliver.

Purpose-led organizations face increasing expectations around accountability, collaboration, and innovation. Since 1986, Phelps has supported foundations, advocacy groups, Indigenous organizations, and social service providers in recruiting leaders who understand volunteerism, community trust, and the mission at the heart of their work.
