NEDs

Non-Executive Directors dedicated to the life sciences industry

Identifying independent, experienced and authoritative Non-Executive Directors can be a major challenge to even the most well-established pharmaceutical and life sciences companies.

RSA's register brings together the small, but powerful, niche community of Non-Executive Directors. The register facilitates networking, produces research into the challenges and opportunities of Non-Executive Directorship, and places qualified individuals into Board vacancies with life sciences companies (within both the public and private sector).
