Caroline Spence Executive Search Services

I have a degree in Marine Biology and had dreams of becoming a shark biologist, but academia was, alas, not for me.  

Prior to moving into Executive Search, I spent a short time in the NHS, coordinating a Scottish Government initiative to reduce childhood cancers in Scotland.

My career in Executive Search began in 2013, as Operations Manager with a California based boutique Life Sciences search firm. My responsibilities included managing and improving the operations for the European side of the business, as well as candidate management. I loved doing the research, which was subsequently added to my remit. 

Sourcing and delivering top tier talent is what I love about my job, and I genuinely get satisfaction when I help shape someone's career and support companies find that exceptional talent. I have passion, drive, commitment and an entrepreneurial spirit, so having my own business works well for me.

I have delivered projects from scientists to executive leaders in various therapeutic areas, spanning the entire product lifecycle from discovery through to manufacturing and commercial. Assignments have focused on north & south America, Europe and Asia. 

I am an AIRS certified Professional Recruiter.  Ongoing learning and development is important to me, and I challenge myself with relevant training.
