Critical Situation, Bold Solution:

How We Led a Biotech Company Out of Crisis to Success

In the midst of critical clinical phases II-III, a leading German biotechnology company was hit by a shock: a key position suddenly became vacant. Under extreme time pressure, a Clinical Development Expert needed—one with a medical background, specific oncology experience, and an affinity for the nuances of small biotech firms. Outstanding communication skills and strong adaptability were also required.

Our approach was as dynamic as the problem itself:

Stage 1: Within 72 hours, we presented a qualified interim manager at the VP level. This immediate deployment allowed the company to continue operating at a high level seamlessly, making crucial decisions without losing corporate momentum.

Stage 2: During the interim solution, we intensively searched for a permanent top candidate. Through our extensive network and targeted screening, we interviewed 41 potential candidates across Europe and narrowed it down to five outstanding applicants. The selected candidate combined professional brilliance with industry-specific knowledge—the perfect long-term placement.

The swift and efficient staffing of the interim position ensured the seamless progress of research and development. Simultaneously, the careful selection of the long-term candidate ensured that the company emerged stronger from the situation and optimally positioned for future challenges.

Our ability to deliver tailor-made solutions quickly, precisely aligned with our clients' needs, proved crucial once again. The result? A biotech company not only survived the critical phase but emerged stronger and more prepared for the future.
