Peter J Larson M.D.
Senior Medical Director Oncology Medical Affairs Novartis Pharmaceuticals
“Dean has worked with me twice in the past 6 years and has helped me successfully advance my career as I made moves within the pharmaceutical industry. He is very knowledgeable about opportunities in both clinical development and medical affairs in both large and small pharmaceutical companies in all geographic areas in the US. He is conversant in the changes occurring not only within the industry but also within individual companies. Importantly, he is well connected within the field and in many cases has relationships with HR and hiring managers at important companies. Six years ago, he approached me about an exciting opportunity to change therapeutic areas within medical affairs from hematology to virology. This placement resulted in my gaining 6 years of experience in not only medical affairs in virology at a small biotech company but also medical affairs, project leadership and a rich experience in early development within large pharma. Most recently Dean worked tirelessly with me to transition from virology to oncology/hematology on the east coast. He provided invaluable information to me that helped me successfully negotiate the terms of an offer that I eventually accepted. Importantly, during the 6 intervening years, Dean contacted me regularly to “check in” and often to present opportunities that he was managing to me for consideration. I found this to be refreshing in a recruiter as my typical experience is that I hear from most only when they have particular opportunities in mind for which I might be qualified. Should I desire a career change in the future, I will turn to Dean first to help me identify opportunities, present me to these companies and help me evaluate specific opportunities and negotiate terms of offers.”April 25, 2012, Peter was with another company when working with Dean
