In this role you will have an opportunity to

  • Serve as the Danaher One executive interface for strategic clients, partnering with Diagnostic Solutions Executives to align Danaher’s enterprise strategy with customer priorities through integrated, multi‑OpCo roadmaps that drive measurable clinical, operational, and financial value while protecting Danaher’s interests.
  • Own post‑signature executive leadership and value realization for strategic accounts, acting as a trusted advisor to customer C‑suite executives to drive adoption, translate complex needs into executable value plans, and ensure long‑term partnership health across all Danaher operating companies.
  • Lead executive/steering governance, engagement, and performance cadence, including bi‑annual Danaher One Executive Business Reviews (EBRs), strategic summits, and ongoing account health monitoring—leveraging dashboards, service metrics, innovation roadmaps, and compliance insights to build trust, prevent surprises, and advance partnerships.

  • Lead client transformation and adoption initiatives, applying DBS and Prosci frameworks to design and execute change management strategies that enable safe, compliant, and sustainable adoption of new technologies, workflows, and solutions while minimizing disruption and operational risk.
  • Orchestrate a unified, high‑quality Danaher client experience across OpCos, leading without direct reporting lines to align cross‑functional teams, standardize operating cadence and escalation models, manage risks and contracts, and serve as the executive escalation point for complex operational, technical, or commercial challenges.

The essential requirements of the job include:

  • BS or BA Degree from an accredited institution. A degree in Business or healthcare administration is desirable. An MBA is strongly preferred
  • 20+ years of progressive leadership experience in enterprise strategy, complex program leadership, or senior commercial/solutions roles within a matrixed, multi‑business organization, ideally within healthcare, diagnostics, life sciences, or regulated environments.

  • Executive Customer Advisory: Proven credibility as a trusted advisor to C‑suite leaders, with experience leading executive reviews and governance forums that drive adoption and long‑term value.
  • DBS‑Led Execution & Influence: Deep fluency in the Danaher Business System, applying structured problem‑solving to high‑impact challenges and leading across OpCos without direct authority.
  • Financial & Capital Acumen: Strong capability in capital planning, ROI and cost‑benefit analysis, and disciplined governance to ensure value realization, audit readiness, and risk mitigation.
  • Transformation, Risk & Executive Presence: Demonstrated success leading complex change initiatives, with strong executive presence to manage risk, contracts, and escalations in highly matrixed environments.
  • Travel Requirements: Ability to conduct domestic travel 40-60% of the time
