Built Around People
Joshua Trahan, BSN, RN
JAY-B Executive Search was founded on a simple belief: People change what’s possible.
With more than 20 years of experience spanning healthcare, clinical and operational leadership, executive business development, national sales, and entrepreneurship, Joshua brings a unique perspective to executive search. He has spent his career building teams, developing relationships with senior decision-makers, and helping organizations grow.
Throughout his career, Joshua has built executive-level relationships and partnerships that contributed to more than $65 million in annual organizational revenue, grown a multi-state territory by 108% from $12 million to more than $25 million, and developed complex healthcare partnerships from initial outreach through negotiation and operational launch.
His background as a Registered Nurse and healthcare leader gives him something equally important: an understanding of the people behind the positions. He has worked in clinical environments, led healthcare operations, reported directly to executive leadership, and built growth strategies across healthcare and behavioral health organizations.
Having spent his career hiring, leading, developing, and working alongside professionals at every level of an organization, Joshua understands that the strongest candidate isn't always the person with the most impressive résumé. Leadership, character, relationships, culture, and the ability to execute matter.
That's the philosophy behind JAY-B.
JAY-B takes the time to understand the organization, the opportunity, and the person behind the résumé. The goal isn't simply to fill another position. It's to create the right connection between exceptional organizations and people capable of making an impact.
The name JAY-B is personal as well. “Jay” represents Joshua's daughter, Jacelynn, and “B” represents his son, Brayden. The company reflects the values he wants associated with their names: integrity, hard work, relationships, opportunity, and building something meaningful that lasts.
Because the right person doesn't just fill a position. They can change what's possible.
