The necessity of a functional healthcare system is hardly a concept that needs to be stressed. Even so, Andrew Petering never expected to find so much passion and enjoyment in his work with private hospital manager Nexus Hospitals. As a private equity investor, he was no stranger to taking on a role in setting up a new company and driving strategy from the boardroom, before stepping aside and moving onto the next opportunity. That was the plan with Nexus, but it didn’t pan out that way.
“When we bought the first hospital in 2013, I didn’t realise how good an idea it was or how quickly it was going to grow,” he recalls. “It very quickly became apparent that we needed more resources in the leadership and management of the business to be able to drive that strategy.
“It was an opportunity where I thought I’d step in and take that role for six months or so while we recruited the real person for that job. I had so much fun and became so engaged in the business that I ultimately chose to step away from what I was doing in private equity and throw everything into building out the Nexus platform. And I don’t regret that decision for a moment.”
He’d only intended to be a non-executive director, but today, Andrew is Nexus’s CEO as well as Co-Founder. Nexus operates 15 hospitals across six states and territories, while maintaining strong relationships with more than 500 surgeons.
