DIRECTOR DATA SCIENTIST-Global Pharma Research

When Nicolas first approached me, I was at an important point in my career. I had received several well-paid engineering opportunities, but what I really needed was a chance to transition from an engineering track into management. Nicolas understood this clearly and introduced me to a cross-functional role at a large multinational company that matched both my experience and my longer-term career direction.

What stood out most was his ability to understand the underlying needs of both the candidate and the company. He did not treat every discussion as a simple choice between option A and option B. Once he understood why something mattered, he would actively explore alternative solutions and often identify options that had not originally been considered.

This was particularly valuable during a difficult compensation negotiation. Nicolas advocated for my expectations while also helping the company adjust its expectations, presenting several practical ways forward. Throughout the process, he was flexible, respectful, and genuinely considerate.

I successfully joined the company and have now completed my probation period. I would be happy to recommend Nicolas, particularly to professionals in Japan’s pharmaceutical industry who are looking for mid-to-senior-level opportunities or making an important career transition.
