Science continues to expand the frontiers of knowledge, converging the fields of pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical devices, engineering and high technology that were once thought of as separate and unique.
This increasing integration of disciplines poses new challenges. Life sciences companies must differentiate, innovate, and reach out to new markets while maintaining lean operational efficiency amid first- to- market pressures, soaring R&D costs and an unfavorable legislative climate. Moreover, access to investment funds (private equity, angel, venture or government), as well as strategic partnerships with Big Pharma, has evolved as a potential mine field on the pathway to success for early stage biotech. Seasoned, dynamic leaders with a breadth of operational skills to achieve business goals, and the ability to create and execute a strong vision, are more in demand than ever before. Individual contributors who exhibit innovation, scientific vision, commercial savvy, risk tolerance and commitment are being sought across the globe.
Our search consultants understand how these industry trends have shaped the opportunities and challenges facing today’s life sciences companies. They bring to each search their industry insight, knowledge and personal relationships with top candidates. As a team, they form a powerful resource for tapping outstanding talent in all life sciences disciplines ensuring that we present the best candidates and provide an efficient, high-quality service to our clients.
We have helped build the leadership and individual contributor teams of some of today’s most exciting and successful life sciences companies and have worked closely with venture capital firms to harness the talent they require to ensure returns on their Life Science investments.
