Case Studies

Global Pharma add two strategic appointments

Liftstream, the executive search company, completed two strategic search projects for Novartis DRA in the summer 2009. Novartis were looking to acquire specific regional and global regulatory affairs expertise that could contribute to key products within their cardiovascular and metabolism therapeutic area.

Liftstream delivered the recruitment assignment against a comprehensive strategy that recruited across the European and International markets to recruit specific experience able to live and work in Switzerland. The project was delivered extremely efficiently by Liftstream and the two resulting hires were recruited from an incredibly well defined and pre-selected shortlist of candidates.

Liftstream was able to recruit both a Global Product Regulatory Affairs Director and Senior Regional Regulatory Leader for Novartis.

Emerging markets expertise recruited for specialist Pharma company

In September 2009, Liftstream completed the successful recruitment search campaign for Europe's leading specialist pharmaceutical company, Norgine. With an emphasis on identifying a key senior management professional that could drive Norgine's strategic regulatory affairs activities in the UK and in medium-sized and emerging markets.

The executive search was co-ordinated around a tailored recruitment search strategy that resulted in a highly qualified regulatory affairs professional being recruited. We were also able to bring visibility to Norgine by advertising the role to the regulatory community via the industry media.

Biotech recruits Clinical Programme Leader

Liftstream was enaged by a leading oncology biotechnology company to recruit a Clinical Programme Manager to oversee clinical trails in Europe in the area of oncology and haematology. We conducted a thorough assessment of the company's clinical trial outlook and constructed a comprehensive strategy that detailed a clear approach for identifying and engaging this specialist skill-set.

In recruiting the person we ensured both scientific and leadership qualities and the final appointment proved to be a very strong match with the initial profile agreed with the client.

Global Biotechnology recruits Regulatory Affairs Director

We were selected to conduct an International search campaign to recruit a Director of Regulatory Affairs for a global biotechnology company who are developing products in the oncology therapeutic area. One of the areas that was critically important was to be able to carry the company's propositon to the target audience. The lack of visibility of the company and the incredibly tight market for regulatory affairs skills made executive search a clear choice for attracting and appointing a successful candidate.

Liftstream was able to work extensively across the European Regulatory Affairs market to stimulate interest and select a high-calibe field of candidates. From this field the company were able to employ a strongly qualified Regulatory Affairs Director with experience in biotechnology drug development.
