How this work intersects the rest of the practice.
Frequently asked
Common questions, answered plainly.
- Can you find a Chief Scientific Officer?
- Yes — CSO is a flagship retained executive practice area. The talent pool is small; warm relationships and modality-specific pattern recognition are the limiting factors.
- Do you work academic-to-industry transitions?
- Yes. Many founding scientists come from academia; the cultural and operational shift is real. We coach both candidate and company through the transition expectations.
- How do you handle modality-specific searches?
- Modality matters — gene therapy talent ≠ small molecule talent ≠ biologics talent. We route searches to recruiters with named-modality pattern recognition.
