About Gerard

I'm an independent executive search consultant specializing in life sciences: biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and medical device.

For nearly a decade I led Research & Development search at a premier life-science search firm, recruiting the people who move science forward from the bench to the boardroom. I've now brought that work under my own banner, so the people who hire me get exactly what they came for. A direct partner, no handoffs, no layers between you and the person doing the work.

My focus is narrow on purpose. Within life sciences, I recruit across the functions where a single hire can shape an entire program: Regulatory Affairs, Medical Affairs, Drug Safety, Drug Discovery, Preclinical and Clinical Development, and CRO/CDMO partnerships. I work at every level from Director to C-suite, on both retained and contingency engagements, and I build the passive-candidate pipelines that get genuinely hard roles filled.

The track record backs it up. Across 50+ searches spanning biotech, medtech, and pharma, I've maintained an 85% fill rate and cut average time-to-fill by roughly 15%, without compromising on candidate quality or fit.

What clients tell me they value most isn't on a metrics sheet, though. It's that I stay in the conversation when a hire is time-sensitive, represent your culture and science as if they were my own, and stay honest with both sides about what's actually realistic. That's the partnership I'm built around, and now it's mine to deliver directly.

If you're building a team in life sciences, let's talk.
