His experience in building highly organized, structured, and disciplined departments in the CRO industry aligned perfectly with our client’s requirements.

Since his appointment, the candidate has had a major impact on the company. Following this success, Barrington James was entrusted to find the ideal candidate for the Chief Technology Officer role, contributing further to the company’s growth.

Client Feedback

“I first worked with Simon and Barrington James when I was Chief Operating Officer at my previous company. We selected Barrington James because they stood out as the most thorough, hard-working, and best-connected search firm we found. Their delivery on key searches did not disappoint; their service was exceptional, as were the appointments they made. They have since delivered similarly high standards in recruiting key people for my current company, where I sit on the board.”
