We are excited to announce the opening of Hanover’s new office in Kansas City, Missouri, expanding our healthcare executive search services in this strategically vital market.

This expansion reflects our commitment to serving the evolving needs of clients across healthcare and financial services. Kansas City’s central location and thriving business ecosystem make it an ideal hub for our national practice. The region is home to major health systems, innovative health technology companies, a robust life sciences community, and a growing financial services sector, positioning us to better support clients across multiple industries.

“Expanding into Kansas City represents an exciting milestone for Hanover as we continue to grow our national footprint. This market’s concentration of healthcare innovation and financial services excellence aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver transformative leadership solutions that drive lasting impact for our clients. We are excited to work with Alex and his team in building out this practice,” said James Ridd, Americas CEO.

To lead this pivotal initiative, we are pleased to announce that Partner Alex Drury will head our Kansas City office. Alex joined Hanover in 2025 specifically to establish our healthcare search practice, bringing nearly twenty years of recruitment experience—the past fourteen years dedicated exclusively to supporting healthcare organizations with C-suite to Director level searches across all functional areas.

“Joining Hanover to expand our healthcare executive search practice is both a privilege and a natural evolution. Hanover has a legacy of placing leaders within other highly regulated industries, and the overlap has already led to exciting collaboration. Our new office in Kansas City is one of several ways Hanover has invested in this exciting expansion. My team serves clients nationally, so we are thrilled to be centrally located in the Heart of America,” said Alex Drury.

Kansas City’s strategic location in America’s heartland complements our existing office network in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and West Palm Beach, enabling us to provide seamless national coverage for our clients. This central positioning allows our expert team to efficiently serve healthcare organizations across the country while maintaining deep local market knowledge.

Our Kansas City team brings specialized expertise across the healthcare ecosystem, including health payers (across all products), hospitals and health systems, IDNs, behavioral health, health technology, medical groups, academic medical centers, life science organizations, associations, and foundations. While our primary focus will be serving healthcare clients, the office will also support our financial services practice, ensuring comprehensive coverage for all of Hanover’s clients nationwide.

This is a transformative moment for Hanover, and we are excited to serve our clients and candidates across healthcare and financial services from this new central location. We look forward to sharing more updates as we continue to grow and innovate.
