Beginning his career as a research scientist for the biotechnology and brewing industries, Dafydd brings more than 18 years’ experience of international life sciences resourcing to the role, including 12 years in both consultant and management roles for a global, executive-level interim management service.
Recently named within the prestigious Hunt Scanlon Media’s Global 40 Executive Search Companies, SCi provides a global, retained executive search and talent strategy service, focusing upon senior management and board level appointments.
Commenting on his appointment, Dafydd said: “I am thrilled to be joining such an energetic team of dedicated professionals, who clearly share my passion to support organisations in hiring the very best talent, in order to bring scientific benefits to both the patient and consumer.
“Despite these challenging times, SCi Partners portfolio grows as we continue to identify highly-qualified candidates for specific senior-level positions. Our retained search service is justly renowned for the quality and performance of our candidates and this is testament to the drive, commitment and quality of our hiring and talent advisory teams.”
Dafydd succeeds previous Managing Partner, Paul Edwards, who will continue to play an active part in the business whilst focusing on an additional, external role.
He added: “SCi Parters is extremely fortunate in gaining the experience and fresh perspective which Dafydd will bring to his role.
“To attract as high calibre an individual as Dafydd demonstrates the strong reputation SCi Partners already enjoys, and I am convinced that his expertise in high-level, scientific resourcing will ably support the hiring needs of our clients as they respond to the emerging challenges we are all now face, regardless of sector.”
