Marcus & Associates is a global, award-winning Life Sciences and Healthcare executive search consultancy with 38 years of expertise driving the very finest Research, Clinical, Development, Commercial and Corporate (Administrative) talent to our client/partner organizations. As SVP, I lead Relationship Management for our firm as well as our Clinical/Medical recruiting practice. I, along with our senior leaders, have the thrilling, fulfilling responsibility of initiating and building strong, value-producing relationships with clients such as Eli Lilly, Merck, Kite Pharma (Gilead), Immunome, Castle Biosciences, Moffitt Cancer Center, Resilience, MD Anderson, Immunovant, UCB, Amgen, MacroGenics, etc. Along with my team, over the years we have struck relationships with and filled hundreds positions for companies such as Genentech, Seagen, eGenesis, Exonics, Mustang Bio, Arrowhead, AstraZeneca/MedImmune, GSK,Taris Biomedical, Constellation Pharma (now Morphosys), Vaxcyte, etc. We are proud to say that ALL of our current and past clients (both Talent Acquisition Leadership and Functional Leaders) are references for us.I was taught that the best (and only) way to build strong client relationships is to DELIVER, DELIVER, DELIVER. There is no substitute. My mentor in search, Alvin "Al" Marcus, who founded Marcus & Associates in 1986, used to say, "You can ALWAYS find another strong candidate, but you CANNOT always find another CLIENT." One of my best career decisions has been to not only listen vehemently to my mentors, but to effectively implement their incredible advice!Two years ago, we surveyed ~1000 Senior Life Sciences/Healthcare Leaders from the Executive Director through C-Suite levels to ascertain what they felt was their most important asset – the resounding answer was their precious HEADCOUNT (making quality hires). We are incredibly proud that our clients regularly ENTRUST US with this most valued asset!
