Allura Partners continues success in Executive Searches for Bain Capital: Chief Customer and Commercial Officer appointments for Estia Health
Allura Partners has a proven track record of successfully supporting Bain Capital Private Equity by delivering executive search services and appointing executives to lead and grow their portfolio companies. Notably, in 2020 Allura Partners delivered the search and appointed the Chief Executive Officer at Only About Children, a leading childcare and early learning provider.
Late last year, Bain Capital acquired Estia Health, transitioning the company from public to private as part of their strategy to invest in Australian businesses to drive positive and lasting impact for companies, employees and communities.
Estia Health is a leader in the residential aged care sector in Australia, operating over 75 homes in South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, providing support to over 8,000 residents and their families.
On the back of this transaction, combined with the relationship and track record with Bain Capital, Allura Partners was approached by Ray Hass, Managing Partner at Bain Capital to deliver the Chief Customer and Commercial Officer and the Chief Business Development Officer searches for their new portfolio company.
Adrian Belle, CEO of Allura Partners, in collaboration with our internal research team, delivered the search, working closely with both Sean Bilton CEO and Cath Gillard CPO at Estia Health.
The searches led to the appointment of Ciara Rocks as Chief Customer Success and Commercial Officer. Ciara has a strong background in healthcare, alongside experience in delivering strategic customer experiences and services to benefit communities, and most recently was the Chief Operating Officer at Pacific Smiles.
Additionally, Sam Winter, a proven Bain Capital business development and M&A executive was appointed as Chief Business Development Officer. Prior to joining Estia Health, Sam led the growth and development function at Only About Children, driving M&A activity for their childcare investment.
Both Ciara and Sam will bolster the executive leadership to drive the strategic growth of the Bain Capital investment and continue to build on Estia Health’s track record of delivering highly compliant, high-quality, and compassionate residential aged care to thousands of Australians.
