Liftstream

Liftstream was a specialist executive search, board recruitment, and leadership advisory firm focused exclusively on the global life sciences sector. The company served biotechnology, pharmaceutical, medical device, and diagnostics organizations, with a particular emphasis on C-suite, board, and senior functional leadership appointments. In addition to executive search, Liftstream offered board services, interim management support, and diversity, equity, and inclusion advisory capabilities for life sciences clients. The business was founded by Karl Simpson in 2004 and was based in London while operating internationally across Europe and the United States. UK Companies House records indicate the company entered members' voluntary liquidation in August 2024, so it should be treated as no longer an active operating company.
