Together with his team, this HR and talent development expert will support companies in the sector in executive recruitment, leadership development, and transformation projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Graduated with a Master\u2019s in Business and Labor Law, a Master\u2019s in HR from Paris II Assas (CIFFOP), and certified as a coach at HEC, Laurent Carcassonne began his career in human resources at a major insurance company before joining a direct approach recruitment firm as a consultant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2009, he joined Thales, a leader in equipment for the aerospace, defense, security, and transportation industries.

Passionate about human resources development, Laurent Carcassonne is now appointed Managing Director and will lead the Life Sciences sector practice, which is part of Grant Alexander\u2019s global offering and will operate across its various services: Executive Search, Executive Interim, Leadership Development, and HR and Organisation Transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Within this practice, the team will combine its different areas of expertise to strengthen the group\u2019s presence in France and internationally within SBF120 and CAC40 companies in the sector, particularly in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices and diagnostics, OTC, and hospital groups. Laurent will also support the High Technology practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
