Linda Robertson is the Founder and President of Robertson Human Asset, a boutique executive search firm serving Medical Device, MedTech and Dental organizations across Canada and the United States.
She is a North American executive recruiter and advisor specializing exclusively in commercial sales, marketing and leadership roles within regulated healthcare markets.
With more than 25 years of industry experience spanning clinical care, medical device sales, executive leadership and executive search, Linda brings a rare operator-informed perspective to every engagement.
Linda began her career as a Registered Nurse in Ontario, gaining firsthand experience within clinical environments and healthcare systems.
She later transitioned into medical device sales, where she consistently performed at a high level before advancing into leadership roles. Her commercial background provides practical insight into revenue generation, territory management, leadership development and sales performance within highly regulated markets.
After observing that many organizations struggled not because of product limitations, but because of misaligned hiring and weak leadership pipelines, Linda founded Robertson Human Asset to elevate how healthcare companies build commercial teams.
Linda’s work is grounded in a clear belief:
Great hiring is not transactional. It is strategic.
Commercial teams drive revenue, culture and long-term performance. Hiring decisions must align with growth objectives, leadership capability and organizational discipline.
Her approach emphasizes structure, alignment and long-term retention rather than short-term placement.
For more than two decades, Linda has led Robertson Human Asset in close professional partnership with her husband, Brad Robertson, Partner and Senior Recruiter.
Together, they have built a disciplined, values-driven organization grounded in operational excellence, integrity and long-term relationships.
Linda works closely with Brad and her team in search execution and candidate management, supporting the firm’s structured approach while maintaining her focus on client strategy, commercial alignment and executive advisory work.
This long-standing partnership has allowed the firm to scale thoughtfully while maintaining consistency, accountability and strong client relationships across North America.
