Carn International

Carn International is a specialized executive search consultancy founded in 2011, focusing exclusively on the life sciences sector. Based in Charlotte, NC, the firm partners with pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, and medical technology clients to identify exceptional business leaders. Their unique approach combines the science of people with deep industry expertise to help propel life sciences organizations forward.

Carn International distinguishes itself as a consultancy rather than a traditional recruitment agency, partnering closely with clients to understand their strategic needs through an objective and holistic lens. Their consultants provide candid and often bold strategic input that clients value most, going beyond simple placement to offer genuine business partnership.

The firm employs a sophisticated, data-driven approach that leverages technology and psychographic programs to analyze human attributes including values, opinions, interests, lifestyles, and attitudes. This methodology is critical to their executive placement success and ensures long-term compatibility between candidates and roles.

Combining cutting-edge technology with deep consultant experience, Carn International draws from both science and intuition to create perfect matches between executives and life sciences opportunities. Their end goal extends beyond placement to helping clients amplify careers that are both challenging and meaningful, instilling continual passion in their work.

Focused on transformational growth, Carn International specializes in finding and placing executives who are poised to be catalysts for change. These leaders are equipped to deliver on strategy, enhance company culture, grow brands, and drive financial success. The firm has demonstrated global reach, serving more than 17 countries with over 83 active clients and more than 1,250 successful placements.
