PHARMA/BIOTECH

The Pharma/Biotech industry is working closely together with health care providers, governments, institutions etc. seeking to reduce cost and improve efficiencies in health care, as the burden of chronic disease in the developed world grows, and as the challenges of infectious diseases and poverty in the developing world continue their devastating impact on people’s lives. How can technology and innovation be harnessed to improve quality in healthcare outcomes? This is a key challenge at a time when the pace of medical advances is rapid and while health care is struggling to find ways to afford to implement the many treatment innovations becoming available, combined with managing consumers’ expectations of entitlement to them.

 

In essence, the Pharma/Biotech industry is currently facing game-changing leadership requirements. Roles and strategies are being redefined and the need to recruit exceptional leaders and specialists has never been more outspoken. At GLSA, we identify and assess high performing talent from the Pharma/Biotech industry, health care institutions, and academia that are motivated to conduct research, business and health care services, and encourage a scientific dialogue leading to improved health and safety.

FOOD & INGREDIENTS

European consumers are becoming increasingly health conscious, and are therefore paying closer attention to the nutritional profile of foods – including ingredient composition. This puts additional pressure on regional food and beverage manufacturers to respond by reducing or cutting out fat, salt and sugar as well as preservatives, additives and colorings.

 

In the feed segment, feed availability, new feed ingredients, and new feeding practices have played important roles in the concentration of food animal production operations, in particular, the now highly concentrated production of pigs and chickens. The intensification of livestock production has in turn had a significant impact on patterns of feed use, including increased demand for concentrates.

​

The Food & Ingredient sectors are currently facing game-changing leadership requirements with innovation, safety and speed being the main drivers. Roles and strategies are being redefined and the need to recruit exceptional leaders and specialists has never been more outspoken.

CHEMICALS

Being a cyclical business, the chemical industry is highly sensitive to changes in the global economy. Volatilities in the economy and growth being driven by Asia, will pose ongoing challenges for leaders in the European chemicals industry.

 

As the chemical industry in Europe will remain under pressure from the Asian markets, investments in technology development and value-adding products and services will be on the agenda. This will require access to talented and lateral thinking leaders and specialists, and the need to recruit exceptional talent on a broad scale has never been more outspoken. At GLSA, we identify and assess high performing talent for the chemicals industry that are motivated to conduct research and business in the pursuit of sustainable competitive advantages.
