The 4 Pillars of Searchlight Value
Regeneron
“We’re all consumed a hundred hours a week with the demands of our roles. We just don’t have time to individually build relationships with peers. But one of the reasons Searchlight brings me so much value is because it allows me to work with brilliant people to tackle shared challenges together. I love that I can now pick up the phone and talk to my new network about what’s on my mind whenever I need to.”
Sally Paull, Executive Vice President Human Resources

Ferring Pharmaceuticals
“The LEAP HR: Life Sciences Searchlight network has been an invaluable platform for connecting with peers facing the same challenges as me at other companies of a similar size to ours and staying informed about new developments. Since joining, I’ve significantly expanded my network, which has enabled me to make better decisions with more confidence as a result of the insights and connections I’ve made. ”
Dawn LoCicero , Head of Total Rewards - US
Senti
“As a small company, it’s important to get outside our own walls, and the thing I love most about Searchlight is the access to other leaders, and being able to toss around ideas with them, getting advice in real time and working with those who are/have been in similar positions to us who can share their lived advice and offer support. But also the really topical nature of what we discuss, but always in real time."
Dee Olomajeye Dragon, VP People & Culture Strategy
Collegium Pharmaceuticals
“I work at a small company, so we take great care with where we deploy our resources, but the diversity of thought and innovative approach that I get from both LEAP events and the Searchlight network are priceless and something we just can’t get anywhere else.”
