We work with pharma innovators, generics leaders, biologics pioneers, contract development and manufacturing organisations (CDMOs) and contract research organisations (CROs) to place leaders who combine scientific depth with business insight. We bring discretion, domain fluency and sharp judgment to every mandate, ensuring leadership that can navigate complexity, accelerate growth and deliver sustainable impact.
ABC Consultants and Novugen have partnered together since the start of our journey. As a start up with ambitions of operating in regulated markets and becoming one of the fastest growing companies, attracting the right talent has been a key success factor in our journey so far. They have been very professional in their approach of understanding the needs of the organisation, screening a vast network of talent and matching with our requirements. They’ve acted as a business partner and provided advice to build our organisation based on their experience and insights of the market. Much of the talent hired at leadership positions is through the support of the team, which has helped to create a strong foundation at Novugen We look forward to continuing to partner with ABC Consultants in our exciting journey ahead and to continue to attract the best talent in the pharma industry.
