'COO Case Study: How Venari Partners Placed a Biotech Start-up COO'
)
A well-funded Biotech incubator retained Venari Partners to identify CEO / COO profiles for their newly formed portfolio companies. The purpose of this project was to build a talent pool of entrepreneurial leaders within the biotech industry who were interested in joining the management team of a start-up with a clinical-stage pipeline.
Venari Partners undertook a global search to identify SVP and EVP level professionals with experience of building early-stage companies towards commercialisation and/or an exit. The result was a list of 162 screened candidates, several ongoing discussions and a successfully placed COO at one of the portfolio companies.
