Board and C-Suite Leadership
We identify and place the executives who set strategic direction and steer organisations through complex growth, transformation, and market challenges from founding leadership teams to company boards.
Board and CEO-level hiring in biopharma is under sharper scrutiny than ever, as investors and boards demand leaders who can carry a company from clinical proof-of-concept to commercial reality without a change in leadership along the way.

Flexible Engagement, Built Around How You Hire
Talent needs don't always call for the same solution. We work with you to find the right model for the search at hand.
Approach
Execruit went directly to first-time and repeat biotech CEOs already inside its network who had led companies through comparable inflection points, assessing not only strategic fit but board-management dynamics.
Outcome
The client made an offer within four weeks of the search launch; the CEO closed the financing round on schedule and the company advanced into its next value-inflection milestone under continuous leadership.
This practice is led by Signe Reidla, Execruit's founder, who spent half of her 15-year biopharma career in corporate development roles at F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG and Tillotts Pharma AG, working closely with the Board and Executive Team on major strategic decisions related to portfolio management, global scale-up and market expansion across Europe.
