VP Discovery Medicine

Mandate:

The client needed an innovative and accomplished researcher and leader who could raise the bar scientifically in key areas of research.

Higgins Solution:

The Higgins Group identified an excellent and ideal candidate, a highly accomplished, star academic. After the candidate was signed, several major obstacles made the transition more difficult than expected. The Higgins Group coached, counseled and mentored this person as they encountered one unforeseen obstacle after another. Some of these obstacles were extreme including the sudden departure of an important team member, dealing with a volatile associate, and steep learning curve related to being in a new and very influential position.

Successful Outcome:

The candidate has been in the position 18 months and is extremely successful and happy. The Higgins Group contact who helped him was recently invited to his son's wedding.
