Our client hired the first individual presented by HighFive, providing rapid resolution to a search that had previously stagnated over a 16 month timeline.
This venture capital firm’s investments range from startups to companies nearing an IPO. Our client anticipated continued growth, and planned to invest up to $300M over a two to three year window. They needed to hire a rising star to oversee the company’s long-term pipeline of investments in the digital healthcare space.
Our research revealed that other VCs didn’t necessarily hire and develop leaders with both MBAs and PhDs in digital health and biotech, which is why the client struggled to find candidates on their own. We expanded our search to industries with parallel needs for broad business and healthcare acumen, targeting big pharma and biotech firms who maintained a venture capital arm.
