Example roles we recruit
Proof in practice
Chief Medical Officer
- Oncology Biotech (USA)
A clinical-stage biotech developing novel oncology therapeutics retained us to identify a Chief Medical Officer capable of leading clinical strategy and FDA interactions. The appointed executive has since guided two IND submissions and strengthened investor confidence, enabling the company to launch its first U.S. trial on schedule.

Chief Scientific Officer
