Ben Appleton

At Page Executive, our unparalleled customer focus combined with global insights is a recipe for success for our clients and candidates.

Ben Appleton is a Page Executive Associate Partner who recruits senior management and C-level talents for life sciences companies across the UK, Ireland and the Nordic region. 

In a recruitment career dating back to 2003, Ben has donned various hats, from consultant to manager, across diverse sectors such as FMCG, chemicals, engineering, manufacturing, energy, and consumer. This broad spectrum of experience, coupled with his vast professional network and wealth of success stories make Ben a uniquely effective and adaptable executive search consultant.

However, Ben’s real passion and expertise lie in life sciences, where he has applied his considerable experience and skill set with Page Executive since July 2023. Already with a stellar track record of leadership recruitment, he now has a laser focus on C-suite and director-level assignments that drive transformative change within organisations and wider society. 

Far from a standard headhunting service, Ben delves into the specifics of what his clients need, complementing them with his insights into CEO, CPO, COO, CMO and CSO positions. This approach translates into a comprehensive yet coherent hiring plan that champions transparency as well as results. Past clients point to Ben’s profound understanding of their organisational needs, extensive understanding of the life sciences market and instinct for identifying behavioural fits as the reasons for returning to him again and again for their senior appointments.

Outside the professional arena, Ben balances his love for sports and music. A keen golfer and football enthusiast, he also strikes a chord as a member of a rock and roll band.
