Hoboken, NJ (July 22, 2025) – Stevenson Search Partners, a trusted executive search and on-demand talent advisor in the global life sciences industry, announced today a strategic leadership transition designed to accelerate growth and strengthen its position as a comprehensive talent solutions partner for the life sciences industry.
As part of this transition, Kris Steen has been promoted to President of Executive Search, while Adam Bloom transitions to Executive Vice President, where he will focus on expanding strategic client partnerships and advancing integrated talent solutions across both Executive Search and On-Demand Talent Solutions. This realignment reflects the firm's commitment to delivering exceptional client service and positions both leaders to maximize their expertise in driving the company's continued expansion.
In her new role as President of Executive Search, Kris will oversee all aspects of the executive search practice, including business development, client relationship management, and search execution. After a decade of strengthening Stevenson's operations and execution teams, Kris is well-positioned to lead this natural transition for both her and the firm. She has been instrumental in building the firm's reputation for excellence, leading the firm’s Board Advisory Practice, building leadership teams across biotech and chairing the firm’s DE&I initiatives. Her leadership has guided numerous clients through critical executive appointments, and her insights on building effective boards have been featured in industry publications.
“I am honored to step into this role at such a pivotal time for our firm,” said Steen. “I look forward to leading our talented team as we deliver solutions that drive success for our clients. Our culture of collaboration and client focus is what sets us apart, and I am excited for our next chapter.”
As Executive Vice President, Adam will focus on deepening key partnerships and guiding the firm's expansion through enhanced talent advisory services and M&A activity. This new role allows him to focus more broadly on client and candidate relationships, building upon his extensive experience as a trusted talent advisor. Adam will continue to work directly with clients to identify critical talent gaps, build high-performing teams and functions, and guide strategic talent decisions that drive organizational success.
“I am excited to take on this new role and continue helping companies build exceptional teams and advance talent careers,” said Bloom. “Our commitment to quality, teamwork, and advancement has always set us apart, and I look forward to building on these core values as we expand our integrated talent solutions and deliver even greater value to our clients.”
The leadership transition underscores the firm's commitment to its core values of quality, collaboration, and advancement while ensuring clients receive world-class talent solutions as the company adapts to the evolving needs of the life sciences industry.
"This strategic leadership transition positions us perfectly for our next chapter of growth," said Larry Dolinko, CEO, Stevenson Search Partners. "Kris's vision, industry expertise, and commitment to our clients make her the ideal leader for our executive search business, while Adam's experience and strategic focus will drive our enterprise expansion initiatives.
