About Oxeon

Oxeon, an industry-leading builder of transformational healthcare solutions pioneered in 2011 by Trevor Price, powers change to our nation’s broken healthcare system through talent, entrepreneurship and investment. 

Comprised of two core businesses, the Oxeon holding company includes: Oxeon Search, which has placed more than 1,000 executives in healthcare leadership roles; and Oxeon Investments, which makes selective seed investments and takes equity positions in Oxeon portfolio companies to accelerate change in healthcare. Oxeon, derived from the Greek word for relationships, connects people and ideas to change healthcare and improve the lives of millions of Americans.

About our Firm

Our unique business model and culture attract driven professionals who are endlessly curious and determined to make an impact. We build deeply trusted relationships with each other and our clients. This environment creates an exceptional opportunity for accelerated development — cultivating the next generation of healthcare leaders. 

We hold ourselves to six core values: Intellectual Curiosity, Emotional Intelligence (EQ), Ownership, Resilience, Collaboration and Spirit of Generosity. These values guide our every action — from the way we hire, to how we invest, to how we serve our clients. 

Perhaps most importantly, we have a lot of fun together. As part of our team, you might be asked to take over as office DJ, don a costume for Spirit Week, or teach us about your favorite hobby. We encourage laughter and celebration in our everyday work.
