Testimonials

Moving to a new company always involves a bit of risk. CPL has an extensive knowledge of the nutraceutical and cosmeceutical industry and key players in the industry. This reassured me that the company I was
considering moving to was a start-up that has traction in the industry as well as a strong reputation. CPL was the consummate professional throughout the entire process, constantly vetting both the company and me to ensure the fit was perfect for both parties. The company went above and beyond the standard recruiting process in addressing my need and being available when questions arose. CPL has been on both sides of the executive search process and draws on this experience in every interaction to ensure the discussions are clear and progress smoothly. The best executive search experience I have had in my 20+ years in life sciences.
