SERVICES
Every placement we make brings treatments to patients faster. For oncology and rare disease biotechs, we place the executives who navigate FDA pathways, design robust trials, close pharma partnerships, and execute flawlessly—CMOs with successful BLA submissions, VP BDs with $500M+ deals, VP Medical Affairs with global launch experience. For UK healthcare providers, we place GMC-registered consultant psychiatrists into leading hospital groups, addressing the critical shortage affecting patient care. We don't do generic "life sciences" recruiting. We specialize in immuno-oncology, AI drug discovery, antibody-drug conjugates, gene therapy, and consultant psychiatry because these areas require deep expertise and proven track records. Our mission is singular: connecting breakthrough science and critical healthcare needs with the experienced leadership that delivers results.
