Privately held American Management Consultancy

Our client after a period of rapid expansion, had been subject to an aggressive poaching exercise by a UK rival, resulting in the loss of their EMEA Life Sciences practice leadership. Arete Talent was engaged to evaluate to EMEA Life Sciences consulting market, and undertake an executive search process to secure new practice leadership.

Building on our experience having worked with our client over many years, combined with our extensive network of relationships amongst consulting leaders across the UK and Europe, Arete was able to quickly establish both a compelling narrative to take to market, and a very clear picture of the appropriate accessible talent market. In partnership with our client we were able to design and successfully implement a challenging project, in a compressed timeframe, managing the complexities of multinational stakeholders, the constraints of the Covid pandemic, and highly complex financial package negotiations.

As a result of our project our client was able to successfully on board two Partner to provide new leadership for their EMEA Life Sciences practice, providing stability after a challenging period. Both successful candidates were introduced to the client within one month of the commencement of the search.
