Lizzie Schiel joined The Higgins Group in 2014 and works with organizations ranging from early-stage startups to large global pharmaceutical companies. She began her career in collegiate athletics at George Washington University and William & Mary before transitioning into search. Today, she is deeply embedded in the life sciences, partnering with leaders across biotech and pharma. She works closely with clients and candidates to cultivate strong, lasting partnerships to drive meaningful impact for organizations and the patients they serve. 

Lizzie cares deeply about her work, believing it extends far beyond the organizations and individuals she partners with, ultimately reaching patients and their families. She’s driven by the idea that the right person in the right role at the right time can have a real impact on science, medicine, and the lives of those who need it most. Outside of work, Lizzie can usually be found coaching or cheering on her three kids, and on the rare occasion she’s not chauffeuring to activities, she’s on the golf course (where she’s not exactly winning any trophies).
