Investment Principal
"I respect and admire Jemma's experience within the European biotech industry for identifying and engaging top talent. I used Precision for several successful searches in 2021, including T-Cypher and Alethiomics. It was a pleasure working with her and her team. Her approach, professionalism, and dedication made the process quick and efficient. I would recommend Jemma as a partner in finding top-tier talent."
Natalie Mount
Venture Partner
"Precision BioSearch came highly recommended and I engaged their services on a CSO search for a new, stealth-mode, biotech portfolio company. The process was exceptionally well executed and I am delighted with the outcome. Jemma personally ensured a very smooth, professional experience and I would highly recommend them."
Francesca Crawford
CEO
"The process has been run extremely well by Malcolm and Jemma. They took time to understand our business and set out (as we wanted) a rapid timeline which they met (and more). They met every goal. More than that, as a start up company they are value add- giving business opportunity suggestions and introductions along the way. All in all, a very positive experience"
