A national leader with global reach, our client is one of Türkiye's largest pharmaceutical companies. Renowned for innovation and excellence, the organisation maintains a robust presence in both domestic and international markets. With a history of performance and a solid leadership foundation, they are a benchmark in the healthcare and life sciences sector.
To accelerate its growth journey, the company restructured its leadership, splitting the President’s role into two focused executive functions. One would drive international expansion, while the newly created VP, Sales & Marketing would take full ownership of domestic commercial success. This role also carried strategic succession potential, requiring a transformative leader who could not only deliver growth but inspire teams and drive cultural change.
With stakes this high, the client needed a search partner who could think globally, act locally, and deliver with precision and speed. That’s where Page Executive stepped in.
Thanks to our enduring relationship with the client’s HR Director, Page Executive was engaged swiftly and seamlessly. Executive Search Partner Emir Atci was invited to meet directly with the President, ensuring deep understanding of the organisation’s ambitions, culture, and expectations. This human touch—connecting on a strategic and personal level—is what elevates our client relationships from transactional to transformational.
The brief was clear, but the mission was complex. The confidential nature of the role meant we had to discreetly approach senior leaders without revealing the company name. Tapping into our exclusive global talent network and local insight, we identified high-calibre candidates with strong commercial acumen and leadership track records in the pharmaceutical industry.
Our unique value lies in how we blend personal relationships with cutting-edge data-driven intelligence. Our in-house researchers powered the search with deep market mapping, while Emir’s own network and credibility gave the outreach the authenticity top candidates expect.
From a wide field, we curated a diverse shortlist of five leaders—three women and two men—who were each evaluated not just on experience, but on emotional intelligence, vision, and their potential to drive meaningful change.
But Page Executive brings more than resumes. Through robust candidate assessments, we explored each individual’s leadership style, transformation capabilities, and alignment with the client’s culture and ambitions.
To support client decision-making, we provided in-depth reports with leadership evaluations, cultural fit analysis, and potential red flags. We collaborated closely with the client through regular feedback loops, ensuring continuous refinement of the search and candidate alignment.
Because at Page Executive, time wasted is talent lost, our approach is always fast, focused, and flexible, without compromising on quality.
The final appointment was a visionary female leader with 24 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry, including a decade as Business Unit Director and five years as General Manager. Her authentic, strategic, and empowering leadership style made her not only the right choice for today—but a game-changing asset for the future.
Our client didn’t just find their next leader—they found a long-term strategic partner. The outcome was so successful that they immediately re-engaged Page Executive for another critical role: a Software Project Manager under their IT Director.
This case study is a powerful example of how Page Executive delivers beyond expectations. We don’t just fill roles—we shape the future of organisations by placing the right leaders at the right time.
At Page Executive, we help you find more than talent—we find transformation.
