Our vision is to elevate the quality of leaders within the healthcare and life sciences industries to accelerate executive careers and organizational performance.
Our story
Our story begins with your story, because we exist to make a difference in people’s lives. Our vision is to elevate the quality of leaders within the healthcare and life sciences industries to accelerate executive careers and organizational performance. But to achieve that, we realized we had to do things a little differently to other leadership and executive search consultants. We had to do more and deliver more.
So, we don’t just think from job to job or candidate to candidate – we’re big picture thinkers, just like the people we work with. That means we focus on the candidate and talent pool – not just of today but of the future. We strategically think and plan ahead. We watch the industry and how it progresses. And we analyze the political, economic and social impacts that can change how the industry works and responds.
How? We meet the right people, ask the right questions, network extensively through conferences and events, and stay informed through white papers and industry publications. We’re not on the outside looking in – we’re part of the industry ecosystem
We do all this so you don’t have to. And we do this so we can offer organizations and candidates services focused around improving the access to high-quality leadership talent. Because the best leaders lead to the best results.
How we work
Our approach to leadership and executive search consulting is simple but effective – it’s all about people.
We want to help people realize their potential, and for this potential to be unleashed and utilized in organizations. So, we are creating a pool of the top 10% high-quality talent in the healthcare and life sciences market through the combination of our executive search, coaching and membership portal.
But it takes meticulous methodology and scrupulous processes to attract and assess extraordinary leaders. We focus on being personal, precise and delivering you an effective outcome.
We also take it one step further, nurturing leaders focused on improvement and driving success. In our membership, we have exclusive candidates that have completed the program and been assessed. Those that need more help to uncover their potential have coaching and online courses to help them.
It is a win-win for clients and candidates. And no other leadership and executive search consultants have a full-service offering like it.

Vanessa Meikle
Every day I identify, transform, and connect extraordinary senior and executive talent to global job opportunities within life science and healthcare, accelerating executive careers and organizational performance. I proudly have a relentless commitment to deliver the best outcomes for leaders and organizations.
I have dedicated my career to the success of the workforce and have enjoyed over 2 decades attracting, recruiting, and retaining talent for start-up and scale-up companies, small to medium enterprises, through to multinational organizations within the healthcare, digital health, medical technology, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical industries.
For over 20 years, I have been partnering with employers, executives, and professionals. I have coached people throughout their careers, helping them to unearth their potential and get access to the jobs that have advanced their executive careers. I have consulted with organizations as they pivot and scale, helping them to attract, recruit, and retain the high-quality leadership talent that have accelerated their organizational performance and competitive advantage.
I am a personnel problem-solver, head-hunter, and confidante to the aspiring. I take pride in identifying and unearthing ability, commitment, and entrepreneurial souls. And I’m known for generously giving advice and connecting candidates with organizations, even when they’re not clients. Because I believe that when you do the right thing, the return will come.
My extensive qualifications in psychology, organizational coaching, and professional career coaching give me the foundations to unearth the potential in people and leadership performance. And it’s all backed up by a bundle of passion and tenacity. I love to help, and won’t stop until the job is done.
