)
Venari Partners was retained by the newly-appointed Chief Commercial Officer of a clinical-stage biotech company to build out the Commercial leadership team in readiness for launch. This was a unique assignment as the company was acquiring two commercial-stage products from a large pharmaceutical company, despite not having any prior internal commercial infrastructure.
Within 6 months, Venari Partners had successfully completed processes to appoint aGM DACH, GM US, VP Commercial Operations, VP Global Marketing, Global Marketing Director and Global Medical Affairs Director.On average, each hiring process took around 8 weeks from start to finish, and 3 out of the 6 candidates hired were available either immediately or at very short notice, which was a huge benefit to the business.The first product was successfully launched on time and the initial financial results during the first 6 months post-launch were positive. Venari Partners remains a close partner to the company.
