The Patent Cliff Isn’t a Pipeline Problem. It’s a Leadership Problem

Clinical Development and Clinical Operations
We place the leaders who design and execute clinical strategy guiding trials from protocol to approval and ensuring operational excellence across every phase.
With trial complexity and regulatory scrutiny both rising, sponsors increasingly hire clinical leaders for their ability to navigate adaptive designs and multi-region regulatory bodies, not just their trial count.
Recent placements:
- VP Clinical Development, Mid-size biopharma
- Director of Clinical Operations, Mid-size biopharma
- Executive Director Clinical Development, Mid-size biopharma
Approach
Execruit prioritised candidates with direct multi-region oncology trial leadership experience already vetted in its network, enabling an accelerated but rigorous evaluation process.
Outcome
The hire was in place within five weeks of the search starting, trial milestones stayed on schedule, and the study progressed through its next regulatory checkpoint without disruption.
This practice is led with direct insight from Signe Reidla's own experience advancing a medicinal product from research through clinical development to global approvals at F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG shapes how Execruit evaluates the trial milestones, cross-functional press ures, and leadership judgement that clinical development roles demand.
