VILDA – Leading Women in Life Science is pleased to announce Amrop as a new Bronze Sponsor. The partnership is grounded in a shared understanding that leadership representation is not only a matter of fairness, but of long-term performance and industry relevance.
Amrop is a global executive search and leadership advisory firm, present in 60 countries with nearly 70 offices. Life Science is one of its core industry practices. Through its advisory and search assignments, Amrop works closely with boards and executive teams, influencing how leadership profiles are defined, assessed and appointed.
For VILDA, this collaboration strengthens the link between representation and recruitment. Executive search firms play a key role in shaping future leadership structures. By challenging candidate criteria, broadening search strategies and advising clients on inclusive leadership, firms like Amrop can actively contribute to more balanced executive teams across the sector.
“Representation at senior levels in Life Science remains essential, and recruitment is a key lever for change. Through our collaboration around the Building Better Boards event last year, I’ve experienced Amrop’s strong engagement, together with Cecilia Calmer, in ensuring the right people are in leadership and board roles. That shared commitment makes Amrop a natural partner for VILDA,” Christina Östberg Lloyd, Chairwoman of VILDA.
Amrop’s sponsorship reflects its commitment to responsible leadership advisory and diversity as a strategic dimension of executive search.
“As advisors to boards and C-suite, we influence how leadership is defined and where organisations look for talent. The Building Better Boards highlights how competence-based selection can strengthen performance while broadening representation. Supporting VILDA reflects our commitment to expanding the leadership pipeline and creating long-term value,” Cecilia Callmer, Partner and Co-Lead Life Science, Amrop.
Through this partnership, VILDA and Amrop contribute to advancing recruitment practices and leadership structures that better reflect the full talent base of the Life Science industry.
