London -- April 2, 2007; Dr Roger Anderson has joined Oakbridge Global Ltd as a Principal Consultant in the company's pan-European Life Science and Healthcare Practice, which focuses on the pharmaceutical, biotech, medical devices/diagnostics and laboratory technology sectors.

After a career in senior management positions with Ciba-Geigy, FMC, Johnson Matthey and one of the world's largest CROs, Roger moved into recruitment and has over 9 years' experience of international executive search, not only in Life sciences and Healthcare, but also in Contract Research (both preclinical and clinical) and the Speciality Chemical, Agrochemical and related industries. In the recent past, he has placed international calibre individuals into key senior roles not only in Europe but also in the Indian subcontinent. OakBridge President, Andy Levine, comments: "Roger's broad experience will be valuable not only to the expansion of our Practice in Europe, but also to the provision of services to clients on a global basis".

Roger joins Oakbridge from the Harten Group, where he was Head of Recruitment, and before that was a Senior Consultant with Talentmark and MSL, where he began his recruitment career. He has handled international search assignments for a wide range of companies and functions, in a number of science-based industry sectors. He is also a strong believer in teamwork and focusing strongly on clients and the delivery of a high quality service. Roger adds: "I am looking forward very much to joining OakBridge at this exciting time, and contributing to the development of its pan-European Healthcare Search Practice".
