Board Development and Advisory Roles

A robust and resilient Board capable of navigating the commercial, scientific, technical and operational challenges of today’s market is paramount. A strong leadership team must also be committed to empowering a diverse and equitable leadership team. Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) is factored into all of our Search mandates and is a key driver for Cpl Executive Partners. Our CEO, Yvette Cleland, is actively involved in thought leadership, including writing a Parliamentary Review on life science skill shortages, speaking regularly for industry events around the “wake up call” and her passion in addressing the growing skills gaps in life sciences.

Scientific and Medical Advisory Boards are equally important. CPL Executive Partners are able to provide access to high profile Key Opinion Leaders through our extensive network. We also regularly chair roundtable events to give industry thought leaders a voice with their peers and ensure we are mindful to the topics that challenge and drive them.
