About

A boutique search practice built around direct senior-level delivery.

Charles Griffiths Executive Search was founded by Sacha Burgess to offer clients a more focused alternative to layered agency delivery: one experienced search partner, accountable throughout the assignment.

Retained & exclusive search

Sacha has extensive recruitment and executive-search experience across pharmaceutical, biotechnology and wider life sciences organisations. Her work has covered senior appointments across Medical Affairs, Regulatory Affairs, Pharmacovigilance, Quality, Technical Operations, Supply Chain, Commercial, HR, Finance and Legal.

The practice is deliberately founder-led. Clients brief Sacha, receive market feedback from Sacha and work with Sacha through shortlist, interviews and close. Searches are not sold by one person and delivered by another.

Although life sciences is the firm's primary market, selected leadership assignments in adjacent specialist sectors are undertaken where the search methodology and functional expertise are directly relevant.


Principles

How we choose to work.

Clarity

Clear advice on the market, compensation, brief and feasibility before the search starts.

Discretion

Confidential engagement with clients and candidates, particularly around sensitive leadership change.

Accountability

One person responsible for the quality and progress of the assignment throughout.
