Andy and I will continue working closely together as RSA builds on its momentum and enters an important next phase of growth.”
Andy Theodorou commented, “RSA has always combined specialist sector expertise with a practical, relationship-led understanding of what clients need at critical moments. I am proud to take on this role and to continue working with colleagues and clients to help life sciences organisations build the leadership teams and specialist capability needed to advance their science, strengthen their organisations and deliver long-term impact.”
