Sector

Cell & Gene Therapy Executive Search & Recruitment

Cell and gene therapy is transitioning from clinical proof-of-concept to industrial-scale delivery. The bottlenecks are no longer scientific. They are operational: viral vector manufacturing yields, autologous supply chain logistics, vein-to-vein coordination, and a workforce trained in GMP-grade cell processing at commercial scale. ProGen Search is a specialist cell and gene therapy executive search firm placing the senior leaders who navigate this transition, from VP-level manufacturing hires to site heads commissioning new GMP viral vector and cell therapy facilities.
