Case Study: European Biotech's Business Development Team Expansion
)
A mid-sized European Biotech company retained Venari Partners to expand its Business Development team. The purpose of this project was to accelerate the company’s efforts in scouting for, and executing on acquisition and licensing deals in both Europe and the US as part of its ambitious growth strategy. Following a recent change in leadership, the business set about advancing its current pipeline of promising drugs, whilst actively looking to supplement it by acquiring additional complementary programs.
Venari Partners undertook a pan-European search to identify the best possible candidates at the mid-management level. The result was two separate shortlists, delivered in full and on time. After a thorough process and several rounds of interviews, the top two candidates were selected and successfully hired.
