Case Study - General Manager, Transformation & Enterprise Project Management Office (EPMO)
Role
General Manager, Transformation & Enterprise Project Management Office (EPMO).
Client Industry
Healthcare — Private Equity–owned national group.
The Challenge
Momentum Search & Selection was engaged to conduct a critical executive search for a healthcare organisation newly acquired by a private equity firm. Despite operating multiple healthcare facilities across Australia, the business lacked an enterprise-wide project management office to coordinate strategic initiatives and uplift delivery capability.
The challenge was to identify a senior leader capable of establishing this function from the ground up — embedding governance, portfolio discipline, and transformation leadership across a complex, multi-site environment.
Our Solution
- Partnered closely with the Chief Financial Officer and Managing Director of the private equity parent company to define priorities and success criteria.
- Conducted a comprehensive national market search for senior transformation and EPMO leaders.
- Presented a qualified longlist, collaboratively refined into a targeted shortlist of four finalists.
- Supported the client through each stage of evaluation, leading to the successful appointment of the General Manager, Transformation & Enterprise Project Management Office (EPMO)
Establishing Leadership to Embed Enterprise Delivery Discipline
The Result
The appointed leader established the organisation’s first Enterprise Project Management Office — a transformational step in creating structure, visibility, and delivery governance across the business.
Key achievements included:
- Creating and operationalising an enterprise-wide EPMO.
- Prioritising and governing a portfolio of strategic projects.
- Uplifting enterprise delivery capability and governance standards.
- Supporting the executive team through the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The appointed General Manager remained with the organisation for more than two years, embedding lasting transformation capability. The success of this engagement led to multiple subsequent leadership appointments — a clear endorsement of Momentum’s partnership approach and delivery quality.
