Jessica brings a distinctive perspective to executive search, having commenced her career in neuroscience research. She studied degenerative neuroscience at the University of California, San Diego, alongside leading researchers in the field, developing a strong foundation in scientific research, critical analysis and the complexities of biomedical research. This background informs her approach to understanding specialist sectors, engaging with subject-matter experts and navigating complex talent markets. She is particularly interested in the intersection of research, healthcare and social impact, and the role that effective leadership plays in advancing outcomes for individuals and communities.
