Q&A With Hank Struik, Newly Appointed Exec For Water Street Healthcare Partners
Today Water Street Healthcare Partners announced it hired Hank Struik as a senior executive advisor. Struik is the former president of Cardinal Health, an $11.5 billion pharmaceuticals and medical products company. Struik joins the Chicago-based firm six months after it closed its second fund with $650 million in commitments. Very little has been deployed to date, and Struik has come on board with a pretty straightforward mission: ‘Here’s $100 million from our fund, now find us a medical products deal.’ I spoke with him briefly this afternoon on globalizing medical products, why the industry is not recession-proof, and what buying opportunities he sees.
