EXPERTISE
Laureate25 was founded to meet a new mandate in executive search: one that understands the complexity of biology, the velocity of innovation, and the capital markets that fund both. We operate at the convergence of AI and biotech, platform science and translational execution, research vision and operational scale.
We work shoulder-to-shoulder with company builders and investors to shape leadership teams that can navigate early scientific uncertainty, build enterprise value, and lead with conviction in the face of accelerating complexity
We advise across a spectrum of needs, including:
Foundational Hires for Venture Creation Founding CEO's
CEOs, CSOs, and Chairs for newly incubated or stealth-stage platforms—individuals who bring scientific authority, storytelling fluency, and the capacity to build from white space.
Executive Leadership for Scaling Biotech
C-suite and functional leaders for companies entering the clinic, preparing for IPO, or navigating pivotal transitions. We partner across R&D, Clinical, G&A, and Commercial to identify the leadership infrastructure that unlocks inflection.
Board and Independent Director Appointments
Board composition is strategy.
We help construct modern, effective boards with domain-relevant expertise, governance acumen, and diversity of thought.
Strategic Advisory During Organizational Change
Whether managing leadership succession, preparing for financing events, or evolving team structure in response to pipeline progression, we serve as confidential advisors during moments that define trajectory.
