Luke Henningsen is the Managing Director of Henningsen Search, a focused practice advising Chairs, Boards and Investors on CEO and Board appointments in healthcare and technology - organisations where the complexity of care, regulation and innovation converge, and where the cost of the wrong appointment is highest.

Luke works at the intersection of healthcare and technology - partnering with established health systems, PE and VC-backed health technology businesses, and complex regulated organisations navigating transformation, succession and growth. He is engaged most often at inflection points - growth, transformation, governance reset, turnaround and succession, where alignment between Board, CEO and investor objectives must be engineered with discipline and discretion.

Across more than two decades in executive search and talent leadership, Luke has co-founded, built and exited a high profile executive search firm (SHK Asia Pacific), led a major recruitment business across Australia and New Zealand as an Executive GM within an ASX-listed human capital group (Chandler Macleod Ltd), been CEO of a global Healthcare executive search firm (C-Suite Partners) and run internal recruitment within KPMG. He also founded and led the startup/scaleup specialist firm Scale & Swing, and previously led executive search within MitchelLake Group.

Luke operates a deliberately low-volume, partner-led model, combining senior judgment with a modern research and delivery engine. The result is fast, thorough market coverage and rigorous assessment, so attention stays where it matters: role calibration, stakeholder management, candidate evaluation, rigorous referencing and decisive closure. Luke is based in Melbourne and maintains strong Australia–Asia reach.
