Strategic Growth Support for Mimi Senior Living

James Long MBA used his 15 years of experience in the US senior care sector to advise Mimi Senior Living leadership teams in their direction of growth

James has built a strong reputation for providing strategic guidance that extends well beyond traditional Executive Search. Drawing on his deep understanding of the U.S. senior living landscape, he partners closely with operators and investors to support sustainable growth, operational excellence, and long-term market positioning.

In a recent engagement, James worked alongside Mimi Senior Living as the organization explored new ownership opportunities. He provided strategic market insight into ownership versus management contract trends, helping the leadership team clarify their growth direction and evaluate the most effective path to scale.

Impressed by the leadership’s dedication to high-quality care, operational strength, and financial sustainability, James offered targeted guidance on how to position Mimi Senior Living for future investment. By conducting a detailed review of the company’s investor pitch deck, he identified key gaps preventing it from being fully investor-ready. He then connected Mimi’s leadership team with specialist partners to refine their materials and strengthen capital readiness.

Strategic growth through long-term market positioning

Leveraging his extensive industry network, James also facilitated introductions to senior leaders who provided valuable input on RFP strategy and acquisition structure. These connections directly supported Mimi Senior Living’s progress in expanding both its ownership and management contract portfolios.

Beyond these tactical outcomes, James continues to act as a trusted advisor and mentor to Mimi’s executive team, offering real-time market intelligence, strategic insight, and a partnership approach grounded in deep sector knowledge.

This case study illustrates how James Long’s work exemplifies value beyond recruitment, combining talent expertise with strategic foresight and industry connectivity to help senior living organizations grow with confidence and purpose.
