Trulitica

Ali Divan, PhD, is a career development coach who helps scientists and researchers land jobs in biotech and pharmaceuticals. He couples firsthand biotech leadership experience with deep insight into what the industry’s most brilliant minds look for in strong candidates, employees, and future leaders — resulting in a nuanced understanding of what’s really required to get hired. Ali’s company Trulitica offers a comprehensive suite of services including personally tailored job search strategies, industry networking insights, custom-crafted resumes, and mock interviews — all designed to help his clients get more callbacks, confidently nail their interviews, and secure job offers. A keen ability for helping clients translate academic research and technical expertise into highly sought job skills sets Ali far above the more generalized coaching programs and one-size-fits-all frameworks out there. Few people outside biotech and pharmaceuticals understand how to help candidates effectively communicate their value and advocate for themselves. Ali has a PhD in Medical Sciences from Texas A&M University and completed his postdoctoral studies in microbiology and medicinal chemistry at the University of North Dakota. Among his most notable contributions in the biotech industry, he supported the launch and operational scaling of next-generation sequencing product lines that were critical in understanding mechanisms of disease responses during the COVID-19 pandemic. After excelling in product development, tech transfer, operations, and R&D roles in San Diego biotech organizations, Ali is now devoted to Trulitica full-time, coaching clients 1:1 and hosting a community of more than 100 scientists. He’s helped more than 30 clients get hired at prestigious organizations like Pfizer, Abbot, Novartis, Genentech, Lilly, Merck, and Amgen.
