  Executive Recruiter

  Search Group Of San Diego

  May 2007 - Present

  SGSD is a retained executive search firm with a proven track record of completing niche searches in the life sciences, serving biotech/pharmaceutical clientele. Our staff has an average of 15 years of experience - we know what we're doing. SGSD stands out from our competitors because our operations are concentrated within a single office, resulting in maximum production, efficiency, and lower overhead. With this model, SGSD is selective with both the clients and specific search assignments we take on while offering competitive pricing. Because of our small concentration of clients, we have limited restrictions or “hands-off” sources for recruiting top talent. This benefits our clients by providing rapid access to an almost unlimited pool of talent. SGSD’s client base includes non-profits, hospitals, research institutes, pre-IPO/start-up biotech (1-100 empl), mid-sized bio/pharm (400 – 2,500 empl), and large pharmaceutical (>10,000 empl). While the majority of our assignments are for US-based clients, SGSD also recruits for international clients in Europe and China.Our team has completed over 500 search assignments ranging from Associate Director to C-level executives. Our exposure covers nearly every therapeutic area: Immunology/Autoimmunity/Inflammation, Virology/Infectious Diseases, CNS, Oncology, Cardiovascular/Metabolic – across numerous modalities: small molecules, proteins, mAb, peptides, and vaccines. Because our staff specializes in different areas across R&D, we have deep networks. We can quickly/easily access talent, which has resulted in completed searches across basic research, preclinical development/pharmaceutical development, translational sciences, early clinical development, clinical development, medical affairs, and business development.
