About Kazan International
Kazan International was founded and incorporated in 1989 as a retainer based executive search firm dedicated to the life sciences and healthcare related industries. Our clients include life science, pharmaceutical, medical device and diagnostic companies. These companies range from early stage, venture capital-backed medical device companies to fully integrated, multinational pharmaceutical manufacturers. In healthcare services, our clients include alternate site therapeutic service providers, medical information systems vendors and clinical laboratories.
In 1994, we established joint ventures with a network of executive search firms with offices in Brussels, Paris, Frankfurt, London, Cambridge, Madrid, Tokyo and Sydney. Like our firm, these partners have completed engagements in all functional areas for pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device and diagnostic companies throughout Europe, Asia and the Pacific Rim. In 2002, we opened a Kazan International office in Seattle.
These affiliations have allowed us to forge a partnership which now represents one of the largest executive search firms focused exclusively on the global healthcare market. This focus and commitment enables us to provide our clients with the vast experience of over 20 consultants worldwide who have held senior assignments in healthcare companies.
The healthcare executive of today is confronted by change on an unprecedented scale, including an accelerating cycle of product development, new delivery technologies, sophisticated management information systems and increased competition. We frequently consult with our clients on organizational strategy and key business issues to aid them in identifying not only the appropriate people, but also the structure and processes to expedite their ability to reach their goals.
