Executive Search
Identify and attract seasoned leaders and high-potential talent for your VP, C-level and board appointments.
The right leaders transform organisations. The wrong ones can kill them.
In a sector as cutting-edge, dynamic and unpredictable as Biotech, traditional markers of capability like years of experience or prior job titles are no longer enough. In fact, research by Egon Zehnder and Harvard Business Review identified key leadership traits which are far more predictive of executive success in volatile, complex environments.
We’ve adapted this research to meet the unique challenges of today’s Biotech landscape and developed a set of six indicators of leadership potential that allow us to assess not just who can technically do the job, but who has the potential to spearhead your company’s journey into the future.
Our delivery-focused, milestone based 90 Day Executive Hiring model brings you the very best established talent and the up-and-coming stars so you can build the leadership team your company needs.
