Our Life Science Practice

Focused entirely on finding high-level executives for the healthcare and life science industries, Tyler & Company is a privately-held retained search firm with five offices in the United States and a broad spectrum of clients. Founded in 1978, Tyler & Company has assisted and enabled organizations that focus on healthcare and life science in building second-to-none leadership teams.

Members of the Tyler & Company team monitor the life science landscape closely, and we understand that in this changing environment, a new paradigm has emerged regarding executive leadership criteria and qualifications. Growth and change in the biotechnology, medical device and pharmaceutical industries has demanded more open and/or new positions requiring candidates with specialized skills. Committed to providing the most qualified candidates, Tyler & Company combines three decades of knowledge, professionalism and dedicated, client-friendly service to find the right match. By partnering with clients, Tyler & Company builds executive teams with the experience and vision to lead.

Doing the Right Thing

Tyler & Company is a member of the Association of Executive Search Consultants, and we proudly abide by its code of ethics.

Our Guarantee

We stand behind our work. We guarantee our placement’s tenure for at least one year, and in certain instances, 18 months. We guarantee CEO placements for three years. If the selected individual leaves or is terminated, we will conduct a replacement search at no fee, solely out-of-pocket expenses.

Your Team

While consultants at Tyler & Company are well versed in executive search, each brings a unique set of skills and knowledge that make the difference in finding your next leader. Our life science consultants weld their experience into each search they conduct, allowing for a cross-sectoring of activities that translate among various industries and negate boundaries. For example, we have found strong ties between:

  • Industry and academia
  • Translational research linking bench to bedside
  • The evolution of research-oriented businesses moving into downstream, often clinical or consumer markets (e.g. personalized medicine) 
  • Technology, energy and life sciences as they relate to clean technology and biofuels

 

Tyler & Company is a member and shareholder of Signium International, a consortium of executive search firms with more than 40 offices in 25-plus countries. Our international life science practice includes consultants and scientific advisors, some of whom are physicians and nurses. By capitalizing on the collective knowledge of our colleagues, we literally are able to offer our clients worldly knowledge specific to the search at hand.
