CASE STUDY

Long-established relationships help global healthcare business Ipsen fill priority hires.

Talentmark is the first international Executive Search Firm to be entirely focused on life sciences. For more than 50 years, we have been changing the life science ecosystem helping companies attract the talent they need.

Ipsen is a long-established global healthcare business headquartered in France. They have had a complex shareholder structure and have in the past had to think carefully about how the develop the company culture with a diverse product portfolio and regional footprint.

Through a prior relationship with the Chief Medical Officer based in the US, Talentmark were introduced to the HR leadership. It was clear that Ipsen needed to advance some key early and late-stage programs and the absence of talent was a key barrier to success. Over three years we supported the business in filling the following priority hires:

  • Team Build: Global Medical Development Directors, Oncology
  • Team Build:  R&D Global Project Leaders, Oncology & CNS
  • Team Build:  Medical Development Directors, Neurology
  • Senior Clinical Scientist Oncology​
  • Senior Director  Clinical Operations VP, Head of Intercontinental Global Medical Affairs
  • VP, Head of Europe, Global Medical Affairs
  • Senior Director, New Product Innovation Oncology
