SAN FRANCISCO, April 13, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Calibre One, a leading global executive search boutique specializing in building leadership teams for innovators, entrepreneurs and companies undergoing technology or digital transformation, announces an addition to its expanding healthcare and life sciences team. Working closely with Christos Richards who leads the practice from Southern California, Kimberley Rice has been named global partner and will work from her office in Northern California's Napa Valley.
"Kimberley's presence in our busy healthcare and life sciences team is an important piece of the puzzle as we continue to expand this very important practice," said Tom Barnes, managing partner. "Her vast experience in life sciences combined with her passion for ensuring underserved populations continue to be recognized in STEM industries perfectly aligns with our commitment to diversity equity and inclusion (DE&I) hiring practices.
Rice has fervently melded her professional and personal interests in diversity and inclusion for decades. "I have a true desire to do my small part to effect meaningful change including mentoring and contributing to STEM students from underserved communities," said Rice. As such, clients call on her to bring a diverse slate of C-level and board-level executives to help them to discover new areas, gain product approval, go to market, go public or forge relationships with bigger companies.
With more than 30 years of global executive search experience across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Australia and Latin America, Rice focuses on board/NED, advisory, C-level and VP-level placements for such positions as discovery, clinical research, regulatory, quality, manufacturing, commercial and other functional areas for VCs and PE-backed start-ups, turnarounds and multinationals. She is heavily involved in placing difficult-to-find executives, board and advisory members globally with innovators that converge with healthcare and life sciences including AI/digital tech, health tech, carbon transformation, synthetic biology, sustainable sciences, wearables, SaMD and bioelectronic medicine.
Prior to joining Calibre One Rice was CEO of her own global life sciences firm for 11 years, which she sold to a multinational search firm. She was recruited to start the U.S. division of a global life sciences boutique firm and has worked as a global partner for other sizeable firms in healthcare and life sciences.
Rice resides in Napa Valley where she is an avid bike rider and is a member of Women on Boards, a community of companies, investors and business leaders united to bring equity to private consumer company boards.
