Greg Zoch, CSAM, is a managing partner with Kaye/Bassman International Corp., an executive search firm based in Plano, Texas. Zoch's passion, knowledge, and industry experience has given him keen insight into the issues, trends, and motivating factors that are fundamental to the ASC business niche. As an executive recruiter and leader of a nationwide healthcare practice focused predominantly on ASCs since 2002, Zoch is an invaluable resource for contacts and networking within the surgery center business. He works with ASC owners and operators in addressing the current talent shortage that today's ASCs face in filling positions in their centers. "There are just not enough people with ASC experience to operate the number of ASCs currently in operation, much less the new facilities coming online on a weekly and monthly basis," he says. "When I first began to analyze the ASC space, what I saw rather quickly was a rapidly expanding proliferation of ASCs and very few avenues by which administrators and directors of nursing were being trained. There was, and remains, strong demand for this type of specialized talent." Zoch is proud of the fact that he and Kaye/Bassman have been able to address that demand and is continuing to work hard to ease the situation for his ASC clients. "We've helped to built some of the premier players within the ASC space by bringing them top talent," he says proudly. And it is just that type of hard work and dedication that has made him a perennial top producer and partner with Kaye/Bassman. J.S.
