Healthcare Executive Advisory
Ball Executive Partners provides fractional COO, CFO, and operating partner advisory to founder-led and PE-backed healthcare organizations ready to grow, strengthen margins, or prepare for exit.
Ball Executive Partners was founded by Shawn C. Ball, MBA, CPA — an executive who spent 20+ years building and running technology businesses at enterprise scale, then brought that same rigor into healthcare. That combination is rare, and it's the foundation of what we do.
Shawn's technology career included senior finance and operating leadership at Dell ($9B business unit) and Freescale Semiconductor ($2B division) — environments where operational precision, data-driven decision-making, and financial accountability were non-negotiable. That background traveled with him when he transitioned into healthcare.
Over the last decade-plus, Shawn has served as COO and/or CFO at four tech-enabled healthcare companies in behavioral health and virtual care — leading through Series A, B, and C fundraising, PE-backed growth, turnarounds, and successful exits. He understands what happens when clinical organizations try to scale without the infrastructure to support it, and how to fix it.
Most healthcare advisory firms bring either technology experience or healthcare operations — rarely both. Ball Executive Partners is built on the intersection, which is exactly where today's digital health and tech-enabled healthcare companies operate.
We offer a focused set of engagements designed for healthcare companies between $5M–$50M in revenue that need senior operating and financial leadership without a full-time hire.
Embedded executive leadership for healthcare companies improving execution, building operating infrastructure, or preparing for scale.
Board-ready financial leadership for companies that need more than a controller — investor-grade reporting, capital strategy, and operational finance.
A structured diagnostic of your business — financial, operational, and organizational — culminating in a prioritized strategic roadmap.
For private equity sponsors that need experienced healthcare operating expertise — from diligence through post-close execution.
Private advisory for healthcare founders navigating growth, governance, investor relationships, and executive decision-making.
Every engagement is structured around four dimensions of organizational health. This is the operating system we install and the lens through which we diagnose, prioritize, and execute.
If you're a healthcare founder, CEO, or PE investor thinking about operations, finance, or growth, we'd welcome the conversation.
We work with a small number of clients at a time to ensure genuine executive engagement. If you're considering a fractional engagement, operational assessment, or PE advisory, reach out to see if there's a fit.
