As a premier executive search firm, our driving principle is that human capital is a key strategic element that delivers competitive and operational advantage. Curran Partners has been recruiting exceptional candidates to build exceptional companies since 1989. While our clients are active in a range of sectors, a substantial number are in life sciences and biotechnology. Many are gearing up organizationally to complete drug development, win regulatory approval and bring new therapies to market. We play a key role in recruiting the exceptional talent they need to be successful in a tightly regulated, intensely competitive and enormously expensive sector. We recruit exceptional executives in general management, research, clinical development, commercial development, commercial functions, business development, finance, human resources, and other disciplines. In addition to life sciences, we serve clients in a broad range of consumer and industrial products and services.Curran Partners became the U.S.-based member of the ECI Group in 2003. ECI is a closely-collaborating network of executive search firms with offices in major cities around the world. We have been a member of the Association of Executive Search Consultants (AESC), the leading professional association for executive search since 1998.
