Case Study
Chief Medical Officer
THE ASSIGNMENT.
We partnered with a stealth clinical-stage cardiovascular biotech on the West Coast to help them recruit a Chief Medical Officer.
THE CHALLENGE.
Since this biotech was in stealth mode, there wasn’t much information we could share with candidates to attract them. They were looking for a clinical research leader with a track record of success in developing cardiovascular therapies and navigating the regulatory path to approval. MD required. In addition, we needed to find someone with small biotech experience who would be comfortable in a start-up environment.
THE OUTCOME.
We delivered a seasoned CMO with strong specialization and accomplishment in cardiovascular clinical research coupled with small biotech experience. This candidate was presented within the first month and signed the offer within 6 months of starting the search. We presented several candidates who fit our client’s search criteria and they were able to select this candidate from a slate of capable options.
