Supporting Strategic Hiring for Head of Research and Development

Finding the right leader isn’t just about a job title

It takes a targeted search, a deep understanding of both technical expertise and company culture, and the ability to spot potential others might overlook.

Again is revolutionizing biomanufacturing by combining millennia-old bacteria with cutting-edge technology to turn CO₂ into carbon-negative chemicals. Their process captures unavoidable carbon outputs from industry and repurposes them to create emission-free chemicals, a win-win for both sustainability and innovation.

When they needed a Head of R&D, they had been searching for months without success. After initially working with a recruitment partner who wasn’t quite aligned with their needs, they were still struggling to find the right fit. When I stepped in, I focused on both technical excellence and cultural alignment, finding someone who could lead, innovate, and push the company’s vision forward.

On top of that, the candidate was relocating from the US to Denmark, making this not just a career move but a major life transition.

The result? A fantastic hire with exceptional leadership skills, a problem-solving mindset, and the ability to challenge the status quo-someone who saw the opportunity as more than just a role, but as a place to make a real impact.

But finding the right leader doesn’t just stop at making a hire-it’s about setting them up for long-term success. Relocating internationally isn’t just a career move; it’s a life-changing decision. Beyond recruitment, I worked closely with my candidate to navigate the complexities of moving from the US to Denmark-helping him understand the tax structure, compare living costs, and even explore housing options. These transitions go far beyond signing a contract, and I take them seriously because I know they impact not just a person’s career, but their entire life. I believe in supporting my candidates every step of the way, ensuring they feel confident and informed when making such a significant move.

Now, I’m genuinely excited to see the impact this candidate will have as Again scales up their processes. The potential here is huge-turning industrial CO₂ emissions into valuable chemicals at scale is the kind of breakthrough we need in the fight for sustainability. With the right leadership in place, Again is set to make a lasting mark on the industry, and I’m proud to have played a role in making that happen.
